IT'S A GIRL!!!!

Baby Meidam #3 is here....and IT'S A GIRL! Alayna Mae Meidam arrived this morning at 9:13am (2/15/09). She is 5lbs 15oz and 18 inches long. She is doing great. Has slept a lot today - had one pretty good feeding - hoping that will go a bit better (more frequent at least) tomorrow.
Everything went fast. I woke from contractions at 2:30 am, we left for the hospital about 7:45, registered at the hospital at 8:03 and Alayna arrived by 9:13. This is very quick! So quick that I was given the epidural - but it kicked in fully AFTER she was here! Oh well - she was well worth it!
I still can't believe this baby is here and the she is really a girl.
Grant came to see his little sister today. He seems to be ok with her - not a huge reaction either way yet. I miss him-but he will be well taken care of I'm sure!

We were hoping to post pics but for some reason I have been having problems posting pics the last few days - not sure why - but they won't load. Anyone else having that issue? know how to fix it?

Can't wait for you all to meet her!
