Our Angel has Arrived!

Keira Brooklyn Murphy






Born: April 19th, 2009
Time: 5:16 PM
Weight: 10 lbs. 1 oz.
Inches: 20 1/4

So there I sat with swollen huge feet & ankles on Saturday night and of course there was no darn way to get comfortable period! I had a couple contractions, but not close enough to labor. My OB had us scheduled to be induced on my actual due date Monday night April 20th ~unless~ I went into labor before hand. My hospital bag was pretty much set. And I was definitely ready to see my sweet lil' girl. So I went to sleep and around 12:15 AM Sunday mornin', I awoke to feeling a gush of water... I was so confused... bladder issues? or uh... did my water just break?! I yelled for my husband who was still awake studying and he wasn't sure either, of course! lol! Well, we knew it was pretty obvious my water did break! I had to sit on a stack of towels on the way to the hospital ~how fun!~ lol! and lo and behold here is our angel! And yes, I am still in shock how big she weighed! it took me forever to even look pregnant and I thought I was safe having a girl, thinking she'd be born small like I was. But nope, the Murphy genes are all her, Taylor was a 9 pound baby, his brother was a 10 pounder, AND his dad was whoppin' 12 pound baby! But she is so well proportioned and doesn't even have really any "baby fat" & she still looks small to me, especially in her daddy's arms! ~lol~ Keira is the most precious mellow baby ever! She has her dad's big luscious pouty lips (eat your heart out botox-ers!) and her eyes look like a deep blue, but still unsure. But her head shape and cheeks look just like mine did as a baby. Her nose is a Sher-Taylor combo, sooo cute! Anyhow, we are both doing great. I'm so very grateful to the Lord that she was born very healthy & to have her part of our family. I've looked forward to motherhood so much. Everything I went through during & after was worth it. We are so in love with her!
