Lucy is here!! July 18, 2009!!!

I had 2 more days to plan and get ready. I am use to c-sections where you roll in with makeup and hair done. You have everything ready and organized. It is more my personality. Well Lucy had different plans. It was truly fitting for the whole pregnancy with her. I just KNEW my dates were wrong. No one would listen and would NOT budge on her delivery date.
So it was Saturday. Sophie, Megan and I were getting pedicures. All of a sudden I thought I was going to die. I will spare the details as to not scar my posterity of reading this in the future.
This was at 11:45ish. By 1 I was in the hospital with contractions. I have never really had these and thought I WOULD DIE!!!!! They decided she was ready to come and 30 minutes later I was heading back for a c-section. It was a long and rough surgery but she finally made it out.
She was purple and having a hard time. After one quick glance at her they carted her off to the NICU. It was almost 3 hours before I got to see her. When I did it made all of the last 39 weeks worth it. It was a LONG 39 weeks.

Meet Lucy Ray Eastman July 18, 2009

9 lbs 21 inches

We moved, Amazing baby shower, Lucy arrived and KINDERGARTEN!!!

Time to catch up. We moved into our new house finally. We stayed with Scott and Britney for 2 weeks while we waited. That was a chaotic fun time. Then we moved into our house...RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Grandma and Papa. I was VERY pregnant and sick. It was quit a process.
I ended up with tons of complications in the pregnancy and even ended up wearing a heart monitor. That was fun!
While we were moving my friend Nichole gave me the MOST incredible baby shower you have ever seen. Every detail was there. She missed NOTHING!!!
Catered food to favors, t-shirts for the kids, slide show of my baby book, me in every frame, virtual wall for those who could not make it, custom pencils for the games, matted game board(no one wants to write on their leg), a vegan menu for the ONE vegan there, all my favorite candies in dishes, prizes in honor of me, a video of and the kids answering questions, the best food and cake, a memory book with every picture and even the prep lists, custom party favors for the guests and to take home to their kids. I could go on all day. She is truly amazing and I have never felt so loved!!
