We have kidS!!

Throughout my pregnancy, I worried about the adjustment going from a family of 3 to a family of 4. I was worried about how Erica would handle everything and if I would be ok with the idea that Erica wasn't my 'baby' anymore. There were some sad moments when I looked at Erica and realized that she's a big girl now, but moving into a family of 4 has been amazing! Grady fits perfectly and Erica loves being a big sister so much! Today she was talking to me while eating snack and said "mommy home?...daddy home?....Erica home?....Gadee home?" She has had an easy time realizing that Grady is here to stay!

I should back up a bit....for those who didn't realize - we had our little boy!! Grady Ward Field was born on Easter Sunday, April 4. That date may seem familiar...it's also Erica's birthday! She turned two and got a little brother! We had Erica's birthday party on Saturday, April 3 and I was having slight contractions at the time. At about 9:00pm they started getting a bit stronger and closer together. Brian and I left for the hospital at 2:30am and got there at about 3:00am. Things moved very quickly and Grady Ward was born at 5:06am and weighed 8lbs 14oz and was 21.75" long. Because he came so quickly, I didn't have time for an epidural...I think I shed some tears when I was told that, but I did it! I feel like SuperWoman!

So the transition is going well and we're a happy family of four! Enjoy the pictures!
