Kick Off

Baby Graesynn Lyric was born December 1st, 2010

She was 6 pounds 6 ounces

just under 20 inches long

My doctor chose to induce me after a doctor appt due to a few different circumstances and after a very unpleasant few hours at the hospital with the doctor on call for Kaiser I was finally induced. Less than two hours later, and only one push, Baby Grae was born.

I was so excited for the other kids, for them to have a little sister. Yes, a little brother would have been a joy too, but we didn't think we'd ever have a chance to tell them they had a little sister.

She has long fingers and long toes, just like her brothers and sister. Her hair is the darkest out of all of them, and she has the same nose that Shortie and Zekie had. I think she looks more like Zekie than the other kids. She's amazing, and completes our family.

This was my first week home with all five kids by myself... I'm pooped, but not because of the kids, but because my darn ligaments in my hips and belly just haven't given me any relief. I'm hoping to have a chance to really start this blog and keep up on it - with all the stories of my adventure raising five. The honest look at what my days are like - my personal little record of our life.
