A LOT has occurred since my last post. Our sweet baby girl, Charlotte Louise Nail was born on Wednesday, May 24th. Charlotte because it's a name we love and Louise after my awesome mama.

Although I had a scheduled c-section for that same week, she decided to make her debut a bit early. Almost on Pawpaw's birthday! On the morning of the day I went into labor, Mom and I were at Harper's school for splash day. I kept having contractions but nothing out of the norm. I didn't think anything of it. We decided to meet Grandma Lou for lunch and it was there that mom said, "I think you need to call your doctor". I started to time my contractions... 30 mins became 10 which became 8 mins and then I came to the quick realization that this may be it! Of course, I denied it stating "I'm not in active labor" "these are just Braxton Hicks, nothing to worry about", "I can't be in labor -- my doctor is out of town - eek!". I made the call and sure enough given my surgery history and symptoms the on-call doctor scheduled a c-section in just 2 short hours. What? I didn't have my bags packed, I was sweaty and gross form being outside all day with Harper.... Not what I had planned for on my delivery day! I called Grant and said it was time. We zipped home to grab my things and off we went to Women's Hospital. I was bummed that my doctor wasn't in town but no time to worry about that. By the time we arrived my contractions were 4 minutes apart and I had a lot of pressure. She was coming whether I was ready or not. At 4:35 pm Charlotte Louise was born. Another sweet girl!

All along everyone had told me that the baby was a boy. My pregnancies couldn't have been any more opposite so I can see why but for some reason I always told Grant that we were having a girl. In fact, I told him the next one would be a girl as well! We shall see!

We brought Charlotte home on May 27th and couldn't have been any happier!
