She's Arrived.....

I think most of you already know....but for those of you that don't....little Claire finally desided to arrive on November 9th!! Claire Isabell Pearce was born at 8:39 pm on Monday the 9th after about 12 hours of labor weighing in at 7 pounds, 2 ounces and 18 inches long! We came home from the hospital on Wednesday morning and everyone around here is doing well!!
She is absolutly beautiful and I am SO in love with her! Maybe because I know she will be our last, and maybe because she is so little and I love the newborn stage....but either way, I am so compleatly in love with her. If we could snuggle all day long, I would not complain. As I type this, I am waiting for her to wake up again so I can kiss her some more.
I was induced on Monday and after a combination of things happening, I was still only dilated to a 3 1/2 at 6:30pm in the evening. Shortly after that, my Dr' came in to break my water. Once that happened, I went from a 4cm to 10cm in less then 2 hours!! And then after a very long day, and two pushes later, little Claire had arrived!!
I am so glad to have her here and SO glad to not be pregnant anymore. This pregancy, while not awful, was definately the hardest on my body and I won't be doing it again. Our sweet little family of 6 is now complete!! I have my adorable little boys and my super sweet bookend girls and we are complete!! For the first time ever, I finally feel like my family is complete. What a wonderful feeling that is!
I am so greateful for each of my kiddos and the love that we share. What a blessing these kids are in my life and I wouldn't trade them for the world.....although some days are much harder then others....they are mine and I love them SSSSSOOOOOOO Much! I am also so very grateful for my loving husband, who put up with my horrible pregnancy mood swings, and still loves me :-) I am grateful for his willingness to trust in me to be a mother to these beautiful children and to understand when I felt that we were to have four instead of the two we orginally talked about. I love him dearly!! I will post pics of Claire soon.........
