The Lujan Family: July 2009

Hey Everyone! Our newest member of the Lujan Familia has finally arrived. Although we were not expecting her for another week or so, we are beyond excitement that she is here. I will spare you all the labor details. On July 13, I began contracting about every 45 mins at 1:00 a.m. By 4:00 p.m. I was contracting every 9 mins. So I finally decided to tell Jon that "It's time". We arrived at the hospital and were checked in by 6:30 p.m. I was already 8 cm dilated. After all the pain and with the support of my loving husband, we welcomed our sweet little girl. Here's her stats:
Brianna Isabella Lujan
Born: July 13, 2009 at 11:08 p.m.
Weighed: 7lbs. 7 oz. 20 in.
Proud Daddy & Mommy: Jon & Terri
Proud Sister: Madison

Since siblings were the only ones allowed to see the baby after she was born, Maddie got to see her sister at midnight since she was still bouncing off the walls and we only live 2 mins away from the hospital. I was really excited to see her especially since she was upset that we had to leave her to go the hospital. The look on her face when she saw Brianna for the first time was PRICELESS. Her eyes lit up and as she bent over into her bed, Maddie whispered: 'Hey Brianna, what's up?' It was sooo cute. Then she held and cradled her. It was sad to see her leave because she has never spent a night away from Jon and I. She kept coming back to kiss me good-bye. Below are a couple of pictures. Hope you all enjoy.

Just a few minutes old.

Getting weighed in. She was not a happy camper.

Brianna sure does love to eat her hands and suck her fingers. We kind of figured that because we would see her in our ultrasound videos. I have to wrestle her hands out of her mouth in order to feed her.
