Year to Year

   Cadence,
   
    On this page you will find pictures of you from birth to now. I tried to get them in the right order but it was hard for the first few years when you didn't have any hair...you looked the same until your hair started growing in...lol

You are about 1 minute old in this picture.

    I couldn't have asked for an easier labour. My water broke and I headed to the hospital with Mimi and Papa because we went to their house for supper that night. Daddy had just left to go home because he wasn't feeling good at all. When I called Daddy at home, he had just walked through the door and was about to go lay down...lol
    We got to the hospital and I had the whole labour floor to myself, no one else was having a baby. I had medium contractions for about an hour and then I asked for an epidural (at that point I was terrified of needles, but that day, my fear of needles was no where to be found) everything when smooth and I didn't feel a thing after that.
    Morning came and it was finally time to push you out. At 8:14am on Dec 14, 2006 you came out weighing in at 8 lbs 14 oz and daddy and I have never been more proud. I was SOOOOOO tired but everyone was soooooo excited to meet you so everyone came to visit us at the hospital so they could hold you.

    The nurse was first to hold you because she had to take you as soon as you came out to make sure you were healthy. And you were :)

   First Daddy got to hold you of course. Daddy fell in love at first sight.

    Then it was Mimi's turn, mimi was there to help me through the delivery because daddy still wasn't feeling all that great.

    Nanny and Papa came next and just like everyone else who held you prior, they fell in love.

    It wasn't long before the others showed up and the excitement was uncontainable. Even Uncle Shawn held you...

    Aunt Sarah was actually the first to arrive that day after you were born to bring mommy some REAL food...You'll know what I mean if ever you have to stay at the hospital. She went back home and got Ty and here are some your favs huddled around you.

    Here we are that night, everyone is gone and it's just me, you and daddy. Daddy stayed at the hospital that night to help mommy with everything. I remember this moment like it was yesterday.

    It was the day to go home, FINALLY!!! Mommy and daddy were so tired and hospital beds aren't comfortable at all and we were so excited to start our family life with you!!!!!

and so it begins...........
