It's been a busy week for Miss Finley so here she is at 3 weeks and 3 days getting some much needed rest.
Great aunt Sherry visiting for the night.
Finley's first date with her boyfriend, Carter. They were born a day apart. Carter's mom Katie and I work together and shared the ups and downs of pregnancy for 9 months.
She loves her bathtub as long as she's dressed and there's no water in it.
I just love the "deer in headlights" photos. 
Finley's very first St. Patty's Day all snuggled up with big sis and getting ready to go to Family Night for Ally's Girl Scout troop. 
As you can see, Finley spends much of her time sleeping but she's so darn cute I just can't help myself. Daddy loves his girls!
Trinity was so great to us. I could have stayed there for the duration of my maternity leave. Who doesn't love getting waited on hand and foot. Although I must say my mom has pretty much taken over as my nurse since we got home. Finley loves sleeping on mom's chest. It's her favorite spot ... and mom's too. Casey and Ally really liked my hospital bed. They wanted to bring it home with them.
Finley Ann Marie Starr was born Saturday, March 3, 2007 at 3:14 p.m. She was 7 lbs. 15 oz. and 21 inches long. I started having mild contractions Friday night around 11 p.m. and when I woke up around 2 a.m. they seemed to be coming pretty close together so I had Brandon time them. We called the midwife around 3 a.m. and decided I would labor at home for a while longer. By 7 a.m. they were more intense and closer together so Rachel (my midwife) suggested we head to the hospital. We arrived at Trinity around 8:45 a.m. and from the moment we got there the staff was so accomodating. Rachel got there shortly after we did and at that point I was only 4 cm and 90%. At 11:30 a.m. my water broke and things really started to progress. By 2:30 p.m. I was 10 cm and 100% effaced. I pushed for 45 minutes and she finally arrived at 3:14 p.m. I couldn't have asked for a better experience.
