Cassidi (which is Irish for “clever”) is here! Well . . . she’s been here for two weeks now. Since Declan was on the large side when he was born, we took a little extra precaution in having an ultrasound at 37 weeks to make sure she wouldn’t . . . uh . . . break the bank. She ended up coming out at 8 lbs 8 oz, which actually makes her my second-smallest baby. Phew!
It was a 2 hour induction labor with an epidural that was so heavy that for the first hour and a half of it I didn’t even know I was having contractions. Then they turned the monitor so I could see it and told me I needed to alert them if I felt pressure. Then they had to come in 15 minutes later to inform me that I was feeling pressure. A few quick pushes and she was out. And we’re so happy she’s out.
Funny statements made by Mitchell. Well . . . I’m sure other people will find them funny.
Upon coming home from a trip to the park with Grandma a couple days after the birth:
“Is Cassidi still here? And is she still outside, or did you put her back in?” Meaning back in my tummy.
“She’s still outside, Mitchell.”
Then a few minutes later, giggling:
“Why would you eat a baby?”
“I didn’t eat her Mitchell.”
“Then how did she get inside your tummy?”
I believe I successfully satisfied this question by saying that she grew there.
About a week after Cassidi was born:
“Mom, you’re like a cow.”
“Yes, thank you, Mitchell.”

Did you know Kassie's name was going to be Kassidy? Lucky you that she came out not looking like a Kassidy to us. Although everyone calls her that anyway...
Mitchell is awesome.
