We finally met our sweet Margaret Grace on June 12 at 1:10 a.m! After resigning myself to being pregnant for another week, we were very excited when I started having contractions on Thursday morning. They started off few and far between, so I thought they were just false labor contractions. I had been having false labor for weeks, so I wasn't getting my hopes up. We went on with our day and went to the pool, ate lunch, had a visit from my friend Jena and went to my parents house for dinner. By the time we sat down for dinner my contractions were getting so strong I couldn't sit down. We decided "it was time" and headed to the hospital. The contractions all of the sudden went from 7 min to 2 min apart. We got to the hospital around 9 p.m. and Maggie was in my arms by 1:10 a.m!! It was an amazing experience. I felt like we blinked and she was here. I guess its true about those second babies coming fast. 

We had to stay in the hospital for 48 hrs. because I was Group Strep B positive (which is something very common in pregnancy) and I wasn't able to get the full 2 doses of antibiotics during labor. They had to keep us there to monitor Maggie to make sure she didnt get sick from the GBS. It's very rare that babies contract this virus, but they have to take precautions. I wasnt complaining though and took full advantage of the extra help in the hospital. 

We finally got home late afternoon Sunday and introduced Maggie to her new home. Big brother Borden is slowly warming up to her. He liked her more in the hospital because once she got home he realized she wasn't going anywhere. He started to act out a little bit, but some of its just normal toddler behavior. He still gives her sweet kisses and will point to her and say Maggie. We are all recovering and getting to know each other and each day gets easier. Its crazy around here, but I LOVE having 2 kids. I can't wait for the day they can play together! Maggie is such a sweet and VERY easy baby. I could tell a difference in her demeanor in the womb. She was much calmer than Borden and so far its the same outside of my tummy. She is so laid back! Its hard to tell who she looks like, but I kind of think she looks like daddy Borden. She has a lot of dark hair, which I think will turn lighter, but who knows. Genes are a wierd thing....look at my family haha!
