| Hey, what are those happy people up to? Oh, just getting ready to have a baby with their fingers crossed for a girl! |
 |
| Hey, whadya know? We're in Room 10 again! |
 |
| After telling the nurses our story about Room 10, one acknowledged that it is one of the best rooms in the unit because it has a window. It overlooks a small courtyard. |
 |
| After about eight hours of labor and ten minutes of pushing, we got to meet our little girl! |
 |
| Of course, Momma gets the first snuggle. |
 |
| Oh, kid. Maddie and your brothers are going to be so glad to see you. But not as much as I am. |
 |
| Gramma Karen stood outside the delivery room door, which one nurse inside the room made clear to me is a violation of hospital policy, in order to hear the first cry. She wasn't able to hear me make the call and later found out she had a new granddaughter with a quick text message I sent once she was back in the waiting room. "OMG!! You're not messin' with me are you????" No, I don't think so! I better look again! |
 |
| Later that evening, Claire's older siblings got to meet her. Last time they were in that room they were swaddled just like Claire. |
 |
| Maddie has been wanting a sister so badly. She admired her far longer than her brothers did. |
