Waiting... complete!

Grandparents came for a visit... unfortunately they weren't able to stay long enough to witness the new addition to the family, but it was wonderful having them here.
The day after Grandma flew back I experienced my first 'oh, my water broke' moment without the usually simultaneous labor pains. Yes, I had just bent over (to plug in my nearly dead phone) and pop! Followed by my leaping towards non-carpeted flooring. Interesting experience. Of course, Jackson was an hour away attempting to get his car fixed (faulty seat belt), Coryn was at school, and Carter had no idea what was going on... but then he is only two. :D
Three hours after that my contractions started, and another three hours later she came out. Much to the surprise of the nurses who had to deliver her after I had told every one of them that my labors start to finish are quick. (They claimed I never told them HA)
Both big brothers were very happy to meet her, and Coryn kisses her every night saying that she's happy to have such a handsome boy give her a kiss. So modest!
Carter is still unsure, but mostly because he's expecting her to pop up and start running around playing with him at any moment. He has given her the first nickname, calling her Baby Jovis, though sometimes I wish he'd stuck with Arizona.

No... Dad's not tired... not at all... as for Jovey, she came to us at 10 lbs 6 oz, 15 inch head, 22 in long, we named her Jovey Nauvoo. (and mom is doing just fine)
