Oh, baby!
The day had finally come. April 15th, 2012.
I woke up that morning feeling a little under the weather. I was feeling very pregnant by now. Ivy had been kicking a lot during the night and sleep was pretty much a forgotten memory for me. It was rare that I got even 2 hours sleep. I was very uncomfortable. It was time to meet this baby. I lounged around most of the morning trying to get comfortable when the contractions really started to hit. I called my friend over to help me around the house, and watch Cady. Not long after she had been at the house my contractions became a bit more intense .. it was time. She helped me out to the car and made sure I had all of my hospital bags. I sat waiting while she helped Cady and Giselle into the car. It was time... time to meet my baby girl!

| Here we go! |
 |
| Here we go! We arrived at the hospital safely and I was checked in. The girls went into the waiting room with my friend. Heading into the delivery room I was a complete wreck. So many emotions were mixing together. They got me into a johnny, checked my vitals. |
 |
| Working through my contractions. After hours of labor it was finally time to push.. |
 |
| Push! |
Finally, at 5:17 p.m. Ivy Eden Colette Hadlee was born! Weighing 6.3 oz. and measuring 19 inches.
 |
| There's my baby! |
 |
| Waiting to hold my new baby! |
Finally.. snuggling with my brand new baby girl! I had the nurse go into the waiting room to get the girls. I could not wait for them to meet Ivy!

Giselle loved holding the baby. She tried to talk to her. I know when Ivy gets a bit older Giselle will be a wonderful friend for her to look up to.

Giselle, Ivy and I After a small stay in the hospital it was time to bring home my new baby girl. |
 |
| Almost home! |
The house had been decorated while we were gone.. and we came home to such a sweet surprise!
It was a long.. but peaceful day at home. I think I could rock her all day long..
It was so hard to put her down that first night and let her sleep..I think I stood and watched her sleep for quite some time.. my precious little treasure..

| Goodnight, precious. Love, Meg |
This was one of the most emotional, and happy days for me in SL, so much better than just a birthday party, even if all my family and friends couldnt be there to spend the day with us, the most important thing is that i got to be with you, and we were able to share this together! I'm am so glad i waited so long, and i wasn't just adopted, but i was BORN, and not just to my mom, but to my best friend, and one of the most amazing people i know in SL and RL! I love you <3
