Laura Cate arrived!

Our precious baby girl finally arrived March 24 at 2:41 p.m. After a long night at the hospital with lots of contractions, but no dilation we decided to take Pitocin, which helped things along, as well as an epidural. I was so excited when the nurse said I could start pushing at 2:15. She was born quickly after that, beautiful, healthy, and bigger than we expected, weighing 7 pounds 5 ounces, one ounce smaller than Cameron was.

Alan's parents took care of Cameron while we were at the hospital and brought him by after his nap. He was so excited to see me and his baby sister. Cameron said, "she is soo cute!" So far, Cameron has been super great adoring his sister, looking after her, and praying for her. He is such a sweet big brother.

The transition from one to two has been pretty smooth as we are blessed to be living with Alan's parents and they are a ton of help. Cameron has been very understanding when I need to tend to Laura Cate, which I am so thankful for.

God has answered so many prayers...I was not crazy about being induced and prayed that it would be clear whether or not I needed to do that and after a long night, we had no doubt that I should take the Pitocin.

I have prayed for Cameron to not be jealous and to know how much he is loved by us and by God. He continues to enjoy Laura Cate and even today called her "my buddy".

It is still hard to believe that we have two kids, but here we are!
