It was a beautiful day Tuesday, 75 degrees and sunny. So I took Braden to the Dinosaur Park.
This is the only time I could get him to look at me. He was too busy looking around at all the dinosaurs.
Put dinosaur and fish together and you've got a winner.
The Dinosaur Park has a great themed playground.
This little boy mostly wanted to swing. He did this for about 20 minutes before I made him go look at more dinosaurs. (Don't worry buddy we'll get that swing set this summer)
It was finally time to leave and Braden waved to the dinosaurs from the car and said goodbye.
We have a weekday pass to this museum so we will be heading back again soon.

Here she is! Born at 12:19pm 7 lbs 14 oz 19 inches. After arriving she was having a little trouble breathing so she went straight to the NICU to get some help from oxygen. 6 hours later I was able to see my baby girl!
We decided on Makayla at about 3 am or so. It was not in our list of names and it was not a name we had previously considered because I have a cousin with the same name. But I figured since my cousin is 13 years older it would not cause too much conflict. Louise is my Maternal Grandmothers middle name and it also happens to be my sisters middle name.

Braden then promptly climbed into my bed and began to eat the yummy hospital ice. (I just love that ice! I wonder where he gets his obsession from?)
We had to bribe him with his own cup of ice as he left so that I could get mine back.
Ready to go home
