Hey Ladies!  Boy, have I been one busy mama!  It suddenly hit me today.... I miss my board mamas!  :-) 
 
Well, the past few months have been pretty good.  Hannah is growing growing growing.  We've entered the terrible twos (a bit early, yes) and really trying to push her limits.  It's tough, and we're learning.  She's wonderful though and we're having fun!
 
Also, we had a baby girl!!!!  :-)  (save the best for last, right?)  As you may remember, I was due October 1, but our little peanut suprised us and came almost 2 weeks early.  Mia Grace arrived on September 21 at 6:02 AM. 
 
had a super fast, and easy labor... so nice!  I woke up about 3am thinking I was just having strong braxton hicks... they were all over the place and I just tossed and turned for about an hour before I got out of bed at 4am.  I walked around the house, and realized maybe I AM IN LABOR! and woke up DH about 430am.  I told him I wasn't sure... they were not regular so maybe he could get up and help me keep track of contractions.  They were getting stronger by now and at about 5am he kept pushing me to call the hospital and see if it was ok to come in.  I didn't want to, so when I went to pee, he called!  They said to come in if we wanted, so we did and left for the hospital about 515am.  (Luckily my brothers live here so we woke them and told them we were leaving Hannah in bed and we'd call when we knew what was going on)  So we arrived at the hospital about 540am.  They put me in a triage room so I could change and get in bed.  I went to the bathroom.... changed my clothes... walked to the bed and told DH I felt like I needed to push.  Then I said never mind.... I think I just need to throw up (haha)... Can you go ask the nurse for a bed pan?  ..... Wait no, I DO feel like I need to push..... WAIT NO!  My water just broke!  So he ran to find the nurse, they all came running in and check me... I was complete... It was time to have a baby!  They rushed me to a delivery room, called the Dr (who has JUST walked in the door to start her shift) and without having time to set up the bed/room for the baby, we were pushing!  Every nurse was rushing around and after about 10 minutes of pushing, Mia arrived.  :-) 
 
Here are a few pictures of the girls:

Hope everyone else is doing great!!  I cannot wait to catch up!!
