Eva Jean Valadez

.

We welcomed Eva Jean Valadez into our family on May 2nd, 2011. She is perfect as perfect can be. She weighed 6 pounds four ounces and was 19 inches long.

I started having contractions after I freakishly cleaned my car, took Layla to the park and went grocery shopping. I knew it was the day... Jayson was in denial from about 6-7 and then he knew that I was getting serious (he never believes me). We started packing up and getting Layla ready to go to her cousins house for her first sleepover. I was very worried about her, but she could have cared less... she was with Landon and Carly and they are all that matter to her in this world :). We got to the hospital around 10:00 and my contractions were strong and I was dialated to a 4. They prepared us for the c-section and she was born at 1:40 am. Jayson asked if next time I could not deliver in the middle of the night :).

After all was said and done we have a beautiful baby girl. It is taking a little adjusting with the 2 children, especially since Layla had a 102 degree fever the first 2 nights we brought Eva home... but even with a sick child, it has been a relatively easy transition. Eva is an angel, she only makes a peep when she is hungry and when she gets her diaper changed.

I was a little nervous about Layla feeling left out or resentment towards Eva. So far she has none and loves everything about Eva. She sneaks right next to her whenever possible. She melts my heart. She has to hold her every free second and reminds me if she is crying. She gets very excited when Eva wakes up! Today before our nap we read her favorite book, Llama, Llama misses momma. Before we fell asleep she said... I love you Llama Momma, I love you baby Llama... too cute.
