This is my favorite outfit that my mom got for Adlee
Adlee riding Mila. This picture was taken next to Mila's toy box so it looks messy.
My parents and Pete's parents spent the 4th of July with us this year. It was a lot of fun having family here for the 4th! I thought only my dad was coming for the weekend but my mom surprised me and showed up to! She brought some really cute outfits for Adlee with her. She also made some really cute letters that spell Adlee to put up in her room. Pete's parents came for a week and it was so great having them here! His mom got me addicted to her yummy cookies while she was here.
On the 4th we had some delicious BBQ and home made ice cream! It was all very good and even better since I didn't have to make most of it! We watched the firework show at night to end the day!
Enjoying the firework show.We have to put a bug net over Adlee because there are so many bugs here in the south!

My dad...he's lost 50 lbs recently! He looks great!
Pete's mom. She was such a huge help while she was here!!!

Grandpa Jay holding Adlee. He was great at getting her to burp.
Adlee sitting in her car seat after her blessing. We had to take the dress off to buckle her in because of all the material. I love her dress! My mom bought it for her several months before she was born.
Our little family. It was really hot and humid outside so I look gross. Note to self not to do hair straight when taking pictures in humid weather.

This is what Pete and Adlee did while I made a coconut cream pie for Pete for Father's day. I thought it was sweet so I had to take a picture of it!
Pete is an awesome daddy! He plays with Adlee, sings to her, changes her, burps her, talks to her and loves to hold her and look at her! I couldn't have picked a better man to be the father of my children! Adlee is lucky to have such a great dad!

I have been meaning to make a post about how my labor went but life has been a bit busy with the baby! So here it is about 4 weeks later!
I wound up getting induced on Adlee's due date June 1st. My mom came into town on the 27th and we wanted her to be able to spend time with the baby. My doctor thought it was a good day for me to have the baby as well. One big bonus about being induced is that I was able to have my doctor, Dr. Madden, deliver me! He is a fabulous doctor!!!
I had to be at the hospital between 4am and 5am. We arrived closer to 5am with hardly any sleep as we were excited about having the baby that morning. (You can tell I did not sleep by my eyes in the picture). This is the last picture of me pregnant at 40 weeks. It was taken right before they started my labor at the hospital. 
They started me on pitocin at about 5:40 am and my water broke on its own about 6:20 am. I was planning on doing natural labor. I lasted a good seven hours and then decided to get an epidural when I was still at a 4. This picture of Pete and me was taken after I got the epidural. It was heavenly as you can tell by the smile on both of our faces. Pete was happy when I got the epidural too...he definitely did not enjoy seeing me in pain.
We spent the next about 9 hours just waiting for Adlee to make her arrival. When it came time to push she arrived in less than 20 minutes. She came out with her eyes wide open and I swear she had a smile on her face too! I spent about 16 hours in labor and it was worth every minute to meet this sweet little girl who has brought us so much joy!!!

A few weeks before I had Adlee my mom sent me a package in the mail. She sent me a few things for my birthday, a super cute lamp for Adlee's room and a yellow dress and blanket with a note attached. The note said that she and I had both worn the dress home from the hospital and she thought my daughter might like to wear it home too. I had no idea my mom and I had worn the same dress home from the hospital or that my mom still had the dress. My mom, Adlee and I are all the oldest in our families and we all wore the same dress home. The dress is really cute especially on Adlee!
This is a picture I found of me in the yellow dress.
