• 2:00am, april 20th, i still can't settle down for the night. i am going from one photography website to the next getting ideas for maternity pictures that britt was going to take.
• 2:10 my water brakes...but i'm not conviced after googleing "water brake symptoms" so i go to bed.
• 3:30 hmmm....
• 4:30 okay, now that is definitely my water and cue jordan's wake up call...honey, wake up, i think my water broke....ARE YOU SERIOUS????
  
• 5:00 we arrive at the hospital and they confirm it was amniotic fluid and i labored for a couple of hours waiting on the dr to get there and set up the OR room
• 7:50 miss evie was born

this whole experience came as a complete surprise. evie was 3 weeks early and i never thought i would go into labor on my own. we were having a planned csection 2 weeks later. it was a wonderful experience to go through. the shock, the disbelief, the excitement, the unknown, the nervousness, everything! we are so blessed and thankful to God for wrapping us in His arms and taking care of us. we truly serve an amazing God!

getting ready to meet evie!

happy birth day, evie!

jordan is such a strong husband and daddy.
he would not leave evie's side, even when it took 4 nurses to draw blood on our screaming newborn in the nursery.

payton is such a proud BIG sister!
she is so sweet and gentle with her.

snoozing at 4am side by side


our small group planned a surprise baby shower for us, but evie came early and they brought the shower to us. they are such a wonderful group!

can you tell jord is proud of his girls?
