Welcome Adilyn Paige Peterson

As you all probably know, Adi joined us last night, September 1 at 9:57 pm.  Derek and I arrived to the hospital at 7:30 am, they broke my water probably close to 8 and then started pitocin about an hour after that.  It took awhile for the contractions to pick up and for me to dialate, but once I hit 5 cm, which happened at about 8 pm, she was here 2 hours later!

Early the next morning Derek went back to the house to pick up Braedon and brought him back to the hospital to meet his sister for the first time.

What a proud big brother!

We got home today at around 10:30 this morning.  Thankfully my parents got here yesterday afternoon and my mom will be staying for about 3 weeks to help us out.  I can already tell Baeo is going to have some difficulty adjusting as he is used to my full attention all the time.

Thanks so much everybody for all your well wishes and congratulations!  We really appreciate it!!

More pictures to come.
