Thursday at my (almost) 40 week appointment my doctor decided AP had cooked long enough and gave us orders to be at the hospital at 3pm.  So, instead of driving back to work, I called M and we met at home to pack the bags!

M picked up J at school and Momo came in town to stay at our house.

We had a good ol' time in the L&D room with Momo, Uncle Chris and Aunt Minsey.

We ate some chick-fil-a.

excuse how blinding the sheets look

Took our last pictures as a family of 3.

And tried to give J a heads up.

And then things started to pick up.

So, we watched the Auburn game (first SEC game- AU vs. Miss State- 17-14, War Eagle!).

I started to get a little distracted by the end.

Around 3am my favorite person at the time walked in- the anesthesiologist.

A few hours later, and a very proud Daddy was already wrapped around a very small finger and promising shopping trips.

"And J can just use his North Face jacket from last year, but, I'll get whatever new one you want..."

Not that I was any different.

The second we saw AP we knew she had J's little mouth.

And then I called to tell my parents (flying in the next day) and sister the name.  You see, the "A" in AP is after my dear, dear, sister. Lots of love. Lots of waterworks.

J was the first to meet his little sister.

She had some trains for him.

And just like that, we were a family of four.

Next, we had some visitors.

Momo and Popo.

Uncle Chris and Aunt Minsey

Grammie Sue and Grandpa Jay arrived on the scene the very next day.

More to follow on mother and baby floor and AP's first days.

Finally, I'll leave you with a picture of my favorite 3 on AP's birthday.

Happy Birthday, AP.  We are so excited you are finally here, and love you more than we can say.
