Baby Paris

Well, Liz was probably right, I maybe should have posted pictures of our baby before I posted a video about BYU football.

But let's be honest - Paris showed up in August so that she could be here in Provo for football season. That's why she came.

But - here's some pictures of her.



We woke up at 4 in the morning to be at the hospital before 5. They gave Lacie an IV and an epidural all before 6:30. Dr. Judd came around 9 and popped her. From then on out it was just a lot of waiting. We played Phase10, watched the olympics, took a nap, and Andrew got to eat both moms breakfast and lunch (that was awesome). Finally around 3:30 in the afternoon we got some excitement - Lacie started feeling her contractions big time. Really big time. So after an hour of pretty intense pain they came in and pumped her full of more drugs and helped her calm back down. After that got cleared up the nurse checked her and says "Oh - you are ready! We'll call the doctor." So they called Dr. Judd around 5 and told him she was ready to push. About 6:30 he came strolling in saying he wanted her to hurry up so he could get home for dinner.   He pulled out some huge silver spoons called forceps and at 6:51 our sweet baby girl showed up.    Dad was really really worried because she wasn't crying at all. He asked the Dr and he wasn't concerned at all, he said that not all babies cry and I'd been watching too many movies. One of the nurses said "Don't worry, I've got to make her cry right now, it's time for her shot." Then she poked her little thigh and Paris didn't make a peep. That made dad really scared. But they kept saying "She's just a content little girl."   She had her pretty blue eyes wide open the whole time.

She's been a sweet little angel ever since. She hardly ever cries and is always happy and content. We're blessed.

Mom was excited to get up and walk around the next day so we took a few laps around the nursery while she used Paris as her walker

Roy came to visit with his baby girl Annie

And Uncle Will & Uncle Tyler came to see her and brought some chocolate milk to celebrate

Little cousin Payton loved Paris. She whispered to Aunt Heather "Mom, I want one of these at home."

We even got to have four generations in one room

We got to bring her home Saturday afternoon and she started adjusting to her new home. She quickly discovered her fingers and likes to chew on them when she gets hungry.

We were told to lay her in the sun so that her jaundice would go away and she absolutely loved every minute of that

She still had more visitors come see her at home

She was very concerned at her very first doctors visit

She loved her first bath at home 

She's just a sweet little angel

Lacie was very sad that her dad didn't get to come down and see her so we decided to take a long weekend in Idaho, where London & Paris got together for the first time.

London was super excited about the baby and was constantly trying to pet her.

Great Grandma Wade was really excited and happy to hold her too

Now we're back in Utah and just one big happy family
