Visitors

We have had a lot of visitors since Corynne was born and are very thankful for such great family and friends!

Sandra came for 10 days to help with Corynne. Our days were full with shopping, the fair, taking the kids to and from school. We were always on the go, but it was good to get out of the house. John and I were even able to get out one night to go to a freinds wedding.

Richard and Victoria came for a few days and stayed with us and met baby Corynne.

Fishing

The boys have been begging us to go fishing all summer with their new fishing rods. We went to great-grandmother and great-grandfathers pond and with a little help from Uncle Mark, the kids caught a ton of fish and they were all so proud of themselves!

HoCo Fair 2011

The HoCo fair is always an annual hit with kids. Madi and Ave entered in the pumpkin contest and won 1st and 2nd place! Uncle Mark also participated in the tractor contest. The kids enjoyed all the rides and I think it was sensory overload for baby Corynne.

B&O Railroad Museum

There aren't too many places we could take Corynne at 2 weeks old in the middle of the summer, but we had to get out of the house and took the family to the B&O Railroad Museum. We went on a train ride and luckily Corynne was an angel and slept the whole time.

Hayne's Boat

Mr. Haynes invited everybody to a day on his boat. The boys and John had a fabulous time and were exhausted when they got home and a little sun burnt!

The Day You Were Born

Corynne Daly Spitz
July 21, 2011 @ 8:12pm
7lbs. 8oz, 20.5 inches

A recap of the day our sweet baby girl was born. I had gone to work on Thursday (July 21) and my due date was July 22. I called the Dr. around 10am because I thought my water might have been breaking. She suggested I come to the office so she could confirm. Although my water had not broken, she suggested I go to the hospital because I was already 4cm's dilated and she would meet me over there later. I went home to pack my things and John and I headed to the hospital. I was not having contractions at this point. L&D at the hospital was very busy and they wanted to send me home b/c I wasn't haven't contractions, but they had strict orders from my Dr. to stay. John and I sat in the Triage room most of the day watching TV and we were finally moved to a room around 5pm. Dr. came in at 6pm to break my water and I immediately started feeling contractions. I asked for the epidural during the nurse shift change and suffered through contractions until about 8pm when the anestigiolist came. At that point, I told the nurses, the baby was ready to come NOW and I had a choice to push or get the epidural. Naturally, I chose the epidural. John had been sent out of the room and told to sit in the waiting room for 20mins. As soon as I got the epidural, Corynne was ready..., but John was nowhere to be found. They paged him and a stranger found him in the cafeteria waiting for a slice of pizza. As soon as he walked in the room, my doctor told me to push and baby Corynne was born! It was fast, just like with Colin and Carson.

9 Months Pregnant

This is probably one of the only pictures of me pregnant. This is the day Corynne was born before heading to the hospital. I gained a good 25lbs and had a lot of swelling in my feet. The pregnancy overall was a lot harder than with Colin & Carson, but well worth it for our sweet baby girl!
