Our Bun in the Oven is now a Wee Little Bean.

We were blessed with this Sweet Girl in record time!

Nicole was induced around 10 am Tuesday morning and it was a quick ride from there,

as she went from 6 centimeters to pushing in about ten minutes;

our Sweet God was very gracious to Nicole,

just when she thought she couldn't do it anymore the

labor was a push away from being over.

Praise our sweet God, from whom all Dear Blessings flow!

{funny hospital story}

So the day Nicole was induced, I stayed home with the Chicklets and the plan was for Chris to call us when it was time to come to the hospital. Well the time came, everyone was in a flurry of excitement to throw every "necessary" article of clothing on, and Mia grabs my face and says,

"Elena! We're going to go see Wall-E today!"

I just looked at her.

"What Mia? Wall-E??"

"Yes, Wall-E! We get to go see her today!!"

"Mia, her name's 'Eva', not 'Wall-E'"

(Laughs hysterically) "Oh!"

I guess we shouldn't have watched that movie so close to actually seeing Eva.

Today is their first full day home from the hospital and they're both recovering swimmingly!

Though I may have to get bungee cords to keep Nicole in bed, she wastes no time in sleeping; she really is a wonderful mother and bears things very nobly.

(Even the power outage on her first evening home! In our 117 degree heat!

But that's a story for another time.)

Eva is precious.

The Stickies have taken to her so well, even Dominic is quickly

learning to keep an ear out for her.

Now you know the reason for the slight break in our "Mary Poppins Writes" series;

be looking for more pictures when we return!
