Flashback to the Birth of Adelynn....

Oh how the time flies by....I never realized it until I had Adelynn. Life goes way too fast I would like a pause button to take in each second of her growing up just a little bit longer! But I will give you a little summary of the life we have lived in the past 9 months...catch you up...

Starting with BIRTH!
Ohhh what a day that was...so many mixed feelings, first baby is very scary. I was due June 1 2010...one of my cousins was getting married on June 5. My goal was to make it to that wedding and I DID! The morning after the wedding June 6, I started to have contractions at 7:30 am I had no idea what to expect a contraction to feel like I really didnt think anything of it until they started to get stronger and closer together then I called my mommy! haha..moms always no best :) soon after we were headed to the hospital!
Lots of waiting around...long day of labor! Finally around 6:00pm they told me I could start pushing. And that lasted 3 hours...of "oh here she comes!" and then nothing...so the Doctors finally came in and told me they wanted to do a C-Section before anyting went wrong with me or the baby.
 We were ready to meet our baby girl!
 Around 9:00 pm they got us all ready to head down for a C-Section. Scariest feeling I've ever had!
 At 9:57 PM on June 6, 2010 our beautiful baby girl entered the world!

8lbs 3oz 21.5 in long! We had a healthy baby girl!
I could not hold her for the first two hours she was here, they were still putting me back together :( it was so hard to just look at her...kisses were amazing but I just wanted her in my arms! So precious it was a undescribable feeling seeing her for the first time. 
Finally at around midnight, Mike was able to go share the news with all of our Family and Friends who were waiting all day in the waiting room for her arrival!
Proud Grandparents!!
Proud Grandpa and Grandma Graham
Very excited to be Aunt Kayla and Uncle Shawn

Some our friends who lasted the long hours and shared our joy of that day!

And then we had to decide on a name..she was nameless for the first night.
Then we decided on the name I loved!
Adelynn Anne Graham
(Lynn is after Me and my Moms middle name, Anne is after Mike's Grandma's first name, his moms & sisters middle name)

The 3 days in the hospital were very tiring and very overwhelming. We had ALOT of visitors...we are so blessed with so many great friends and family!
Holding her head up second day in the hospital!
                                already has daddy wrapped around her fingers...so precious.
Such a proud Daddy!

After 3 days of being stuck in a Hospital room we were ready to GO HOME! So excited to go home and start our life with our new family!
Home bound!
Tiring day for this little girl! Cant wait to get her home!
