Lexi Lou Holly

Here she is our precious little chunky monkey! She's our biggest baby born at 8lbs 9.4oz, 20.5in
I woke up at 1:45am on Dec. 22nd to go potty and then went to the computer to look on FB and check my email. I remember looking at the time it was 2:45am and I told myself time to go back to bed. I stood up and GUSH! My water broke. I hurried to wake Mike and we called around to get someone to come stay with the girls. I finally got a hold of Sis. Elaine Salisbury my friend and Relief Society President. We made it to the Hospital by 3:30am and I had Lexi at 5:02am. I felt the pains of true full on labor...unfortunately the epidural I received didn't have enough time to kick in before it was time to deliver. It wasn't soo bad given labor went really quickly...for that I am sooooo grateful! All went well .... she is sooo perfect in every way! An easy baby... very active newborn ...with huge meat claws as Mike likes to call her hands!
She loves to nurse...she was a pro at it from the first second she started!!!
We came home the next day Dec. 23rd at around 1pm ( special thanks to Joanie and Becky Brown who came to care for the girls and relieve Elaine) and life just settled in perfectly as we welcomed Lexi. Girls love her and I am thankful for my 3 oldest who help tons...little mothers they are, holding Lexi or helping with Christie. My heart is full of love, joy and gratitude for my girls!!!
I plan to post more pictures later!
luv luv
