It all started with our dear Maggie. She was born April 23rd, 2002. The pregnancy was excellent and as a matter of fact, so excellent, the Dr. referred to it as being a "text book pregnancy" She was due April 24th but I was induced April 23rd and she was born very healthy weighing 7lbs 13oz and a surprise to us, a girl. We named her Margaret Ann Barnard. Maggie is an amazing child. She is no wall flower. She is 100% girl and loves to look and dress pretty and really enjoys shopping but will play hard with the boys any day and probably would even prefer that. Born to be a leader, eager to please and extremely smart. Maggie enjoys being the older sister and is a little mother hen. She enjoys music and dancing and loves to cook like her father.
We were pregnant again in 2004 and to our excitement, found out we were having a boy! I had to take hormones to keep my HCG levels up for the first 13 weeks and had placenta previa for sometime, which eventually corrected itself. Other than that I felt great and Sam was due in April 2005. I was induced again and he was delivered on April 19, 2005. He weighed a whopping 8lbs 5oz and seemed huge compared to Miss Maggie but just as beautiful. How lucky were we? A girl and a boy almost to the day, 3 years apart. Sam is an emotional creature and has a heart the size of the ocean. He adores his sisters, has a sweet disposition and is a friend to all. He is very cautious and very curious. He inquires about all things and especially things that are far beyond his age. He is wise. Sam was born knowing there is something larger than us out there and questions it all.
Patiently waiting for number 3 ( and our last baby) We found out we were pregnant again in July 2010. Another pregnancy with low hormones, I took hormones again for the first 13 weeks. The pregnancy was amazing. I've never felt so good. I embraced every second knowing it was our last. I enjoyed watching Maggie & Sam experience it all. We all were having a baby and we were all eager to meet our little girl, Amelia. Due April 4th (yes, April) but she came on her own, March 21, 2011, weighing 7lbs.4oz. It was an amazing birth. Not having it scheduled and knowing it was our last, we loved every moment of it. Our family now complete, meet Miss Amelia.
