Hello new world!!

39 weeks and 3 days later......we finally meet Vanessa Mercedes!! What a long, long, long (did I say LONG) day and night it was, but very well worth it. Mommy's contractions started around 8:00pm Thursday night and lasted all night long - coming about every 8min. By morning they were pretty strong and had progressed to 6min apart. The doctor had said "it was time" once they consistantly reached 5min (or less) apart.............by 6:00AM Friday mommy said "IT IS TIME, WE'RE GOING". Contractions were now 5 min, 4 min and some even 3 min apart. We called the doctor and arrived at Saratoga Hospital around 6:45AM. After much waiting, the real "action" started around 7:00pm and we finally had our little angel at 10:47pm Friday night June 6th. Can't even begin to find the words to explain the feeling. All the cliche's we've heard over the years became true instantly. There's nothing like holding YOUR child in your arms for the very first time. Insert any and every emotion you can think of. Suddenly there's no thoughts other than .......................WOW........and that's the best way to describe it............WOW.
