Marybeth is here!

Marybeth Michelle Wear arrived 1/23/12 at 4:40pm!!! We are now officially a family of 4!

Monday morning we decided to change our normal routine a little and go walking with Keri and her boys at Willowbend mall instead of the Denton mall. Jackson and I rode in her car with her since it's about 40 mins away. We walked for about an hour, did a little bit of shopping, let the boys play in the play area, and had lunch in the food court. As we were finishing lunch a little after 12:00, I told Keri that I thought I might have just had a contraction. It was just a small cramp so we finished lunch and did a little more shopping. I felt a couple more about 8-10 minutes apart so I told her that we should probably head home. She hurried me home and the contactions kept coming. I called Matt and he rushed home from work. By the time he was home the contractions were getting more painful and were about 4 minutes apart, so we headed to the hospital. They got us checked into the hospital and said I was about 5-6 cm. I made good progress over the next couple of hours. About 4:20 they broke my water. About 10 minutes later I wanted to push. After one push she was here.

Checking into the hospital and having a contraction.
A few minutes after she was born. She knew that I was her mommy right away.
She is all clean after her first bath, about 4 hours old. She loves to have her hands near her face and in her mouth.
Jackson's first time meeting Marybeth. He enjoyed getting to hold her and sitting in the hospital bed. He thought she had a cute nose. It's funny because I think that their noses look so much alike.
Everyone who came to visit Marybeth the day she was born. (Jackson, Grandma, Uncle Jeremy, Pawpaw, Aunt Missy, MawMaw, Marybeth, and Daddy)
On Tuesday Uncle Randy, Aunt Bridgette, Aunt Janie, Grandma, and Jackson came to visit us at lunchtime.
Her first pink bow!
Going home from the hospital on Tuesday night. It was storming really bad outside.
