A very Happy Birthday is in order today for a very special young lady. Evie Sue Shockley made her way into this world on October 20, 2008 at 11:17 a.m. She weighed 7 pounds 8 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long at birth.
To say we were a bit surprised to find ourselves at the hospital at 3:00 this morning is an understatement! She's two and a half weeks early but definitely ready to be here. (And for anyone worrying if I was ready or not, based on my note on October 5, we spent the weekend nesting at home and now understand where all of that energy came from!)
I'm doing really well and so is Jay. We're supposed to be napping right now but I don't think I've quite gotten the hang of that. I'm sure it will come. :-) We both are feeling so happy and overwhelmed with what's ahead for us. What a journey this has been and will continue to be.
My sincere apologies that there are not any pictures - I promise that Jay and I will get organized tomorrow and find where in our bag I stuck the camera cord for the computer. I can promise you all without any bias whatsoever that she is a doll.
Oh - and a special shout out to all of the doctors and nurses we've had the good fortune of working with - I didn't know there were so many angels right here on this earth in one place.

One Month
One month from today is our due date! And while it feels like I have been pregnant forever (since February!!) I am not quite ready for our little one to make her appearance. I am thankful for and looking forward to every weekend and every quiet moment between now and her birthday. Don't get me wrong, she's welcome anytime she gets ready. I just mean that I'm not to that "get this baby out of me I am done being pregnant" place yet that I have heard happens at some point late in pregnancy. I'm sure I will be letting you all know when that time comes. :-)
