It all started when my water broke Sunday afternoon, Mother's Day. I wasn't absolutely sure if this was for real so I didn't pay attention to the light contractions or leaking that followed. It wasn't until 10pm Sunday evening that things started to pick up and I knew that she was ready to make her entrance. It was a long sleepless night for both of us that ended with me saying it was time to go around 5 am. Of course we did exactly what my doctor said not to and went to the infamous (meaning more than famous) Waffle House for a light snack. We crossed the road and checked into the hospital at 7 am. Ten hours later we had a beautiful baby girl weighing 7 pounds, measuring 20 inches long, and looking like the alien heads from the last Indiana Jones movie. (She's looking more human now.) She has grey blue eyes and light brown hair. She has my little ears and big hands and Troy's button nose. Her name is Makena Wikle. Makena means "abundance" in Hawaiian and "The happy one" in Kenyan.
Hope you enjoy the pics!
