Last week was a week of surprises for us! First, my sister Oriana and her husband Travis surprised us and flew out on Friday February 17th to see us! It was so exciting and I was so happy to have them! The day started out just like the any other for the past 2 weeks. I was having hard contractions that woke me up and lasted all day. But they were staying about 7-10 minutes apart. As we got into the car to go get Oriana and Trav, I noticed they were getting closer. By the time I got the the airport they were 2-3 minutes apart and I knew I was in labor. I got out of the car gave them each a hug and them said sorry, but I am in labor so I have to drop you and the kids off. Luckily Nate met us at home. He ate a super quick dinner and we were off. We got the the hospital at 8:20pm and Evelyn Rose Tracey was born at 11:50pm. She weighed 8lbs. 2 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. They said she looked to be at least a week overdue! I felt super bad that we had just dumped the kids on Oriana and Trav, but I was soooo grateful that they were there and that I knew I didn't have a thing to worry about because of them! They are so awesome!! My mom got here on Saturday and by Sunday morning they let us go home! It was wonderful. I will spare all the detail as really all anyone really wants is to see the pictures of our adorable little Evie!!
(She is only 12 hrs old in this picture :))
Our little hospital room. You can see Luke and Lily were more interested in the games on Travis and Nate's phones than smiling for the picture.
Luke adores his little sister! He is such a good brother! I am the luckiest mom in the world to have such good kids!!
My chubby baby.
Oriana, Evelyn and mom. Boy do I love these ladies!! I am sooooo grateful to have had them and all their help, they are amazing! (Travis and Nate too ;)!)
