Well we finally are home and settled. We are so excited to introduce our little Mia Colleen Liljenquist. She was born August 30 at around 7:30 after only five short hours of labor. I was induced this time due to the Sept 1st deadline for school, and the fact that this time I wanted to be prepared (Alivia decided to suprise us a month early). So now Mia and Alivia will only be two years apart in school. Yea!
Mia was 7Ibs 7oz and 20.5inch long. She came out pretty white, so we assumed we had a little Liljenquist baby this time. However when a big burley nurse came and started beating our baby, we found out she wasnt getting enough oxygen. Needless to say she was soon a nice rosey color.
I have to add that Ben did a lot better during the delivery this time. He didn't leave the room once! And he only scared me one time when he asked "Is her head suppose to look like that?".
Alivia absolutley adores Baby Mia! She will come up to anyone and let them know that the babys name is Baby Mia and that she is her sister. It has been so much fun to see her want to hold, kiss and love Mia. So far Alivia has been an exellent older sister and hasn't squashed her yet.
Blondie.
I was just reminded by Ben that the last and most important reason for being induced early was so we would be sure not to miss the BYU football game. Which we almost did since it took ages just to be discharged from the hospital. Ben spent most of that morning in my bed flipping through the channels for ANY football game. He didn't find one.
