The HAPPIEST day of my life!

My water broke at about 10am. I showered, ate breakfast, and got all ready, then we got to the hospital around 12. Calan was born at 10:06pm. 7 lbs. 20.5 inches :)

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."-Marjorie Pay Hinckley
