The Best Birthday Present Ever!
Bennett Claire Collins graced us with her presence at 12:27 PM, Saturday, Septmeber 6, 2008....on her mommy's 29th birthday! My water broke really late Friday night and we arrived at the hospital at 1:30 Saturday morning. I was in labor for eleven hours and let me just say.....epidurals are a WONDERFUL thing! Bennett weighed in at eight pounds six ounces and was 20 and 3/4 inches long. She had lots of dark hair, her mommy's nose and her daddy's lips, eyes, and FEET!!!! We love her sooo much and are trying to get into a routine at home now. We were discharged from the hospital at 10:30 am Monday morning and within the first 30 min. at home she had to eat and have two stinky diapers changed! Life is in full swing!
