SHE'S HERE! SHE'S HERE! SHE'S HERE!

I would like to proudly introduce Hadley Rose Hughes, born July 8, 2008, weighing in at 8 pounds, 4 ounces and measuring 20 1/2 inches!

The wonderful Dr. Hager (the most amazing doctor on the face of the earth!)


We have TONS more pics, but I think I'll save them for another post. I just figured I better get some of these up on the web before people started yelling at me! :)

Things are good here...just adjusting to no sleep again. It's not so easy with another kid to take care of! Fortunately, we've had family here for the weekend and are looking forward to the grandmothers being here the next two weeks when Johnny goes back to work (Aaaaagh! NOT looking forward to that!) Right now it's just difficult trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in. The back doesn't work because I get a huge knot and wake up not being able to move or breathe, and the side is a little uncomfy due to my incision. But I trust that someday, I'll be able to sleep longer than 2 hours a night! :) For now, I'm finding all kinds of interesting shows on TV that I never knew existed!

OH! Here's a link to some more pictures that Johnny uploaded:

For now, I'm going to take a nap...either that or upload some pics to Facebook...hmmm...which one is the smarter thing to do?

The day is almost upon us!

In 12 hours, I will be at the hospital, getting prepped for Hadley's arrival! I really can't believe she's almost here! This time tomorrow, I'll have a little baby girl in my arms! Unbelievable!

Today has been a VERY busy day here in the Hughes household. After a lovely time swimming at my friend Jamie's uncle's house (a weekly event this summer) with our boys and our moms, we came home and the fury that is cleaning my house began! Johnny's mom came over, along with his grandma MeMe, and it has been a cleaning frenzy ever since! The kitchen has been cleaned (including the fridge bins!), the bathrooms have been cleaned, our bedroom has been vacuumed and steam-cleaned, laundry has been done, a sign-in page for Hadley's visitors has been made, furniture has been dusted, ebay disputes have been settled (don't get me started on that one), and Amazon.com books have been shipped to their purchaser. OH! And my mom made one of those plastic bag stuff-sacks (that you can store Wal-Mart sacks in) for Hadley's room that is OH SO CUTE (Jo...I bought the fabric at our favorite quilting store!)

Now we're waiting for Johnny to get home so we can go eat our celebratory meal at Texas Roadhouse (a "tradition" we started when we had J.J.)...and there he is, so I better go! Fear not...pictures will get posted as soon as possible! Love to you all and pray for us if you're awake tomorrow morning at 7 am...that's when I'm scheduled to start!
