A new cousin!!

Monday, April 2nd, 2012 brought another new cousin to this crazy five-some. :) Auntie Tora (Kora) was dilated to a 9.5 soooo early in the day that we all thought she would have the baby by the late afternoon. . .we were wrong! Little Miss Nina Christine Minton didn't want to make her arrival to the chaos until almost 8pm that night!! The cousins all waited as long as they could in the hospital to meet Nina but by the time Kora, Nick and baby were able to have visitors it was almost 11pm!! Abby was determined to see them though so she just fell asleep for a bit before going in for the big visit. . .which ended up being a quick hello and back to sleep. :)


The new Mama and Baby Nina--exhausted after having her water break at 2am, hanging out at the hospital w/ contractions all day and pushing for 4 1/2 hours. Even though my recovery time after my c-sections was a little longer I think I'm okay with not having to go through all of that--we were in and out and enjoying the new babes in no time. :) The nurses said Kora and Nick were a good team and that they can tell Nina is a feisty one. . .hmmn, what Hussey girl doesn't have a little "feist" in them. :) It's to be expected I think.

Beautiful Nina Christine weighing in at 6 lbs. 11 oz. and only a wee 18 1/2 inches long--much smaller than we all thought this baby was going to be! Kora and Nick are the tallest in our fam and they had the shortest baby. . .I love it. I'm sure my babes will stop growing in the 6th grade and their cousin will continue to sprout long after that! HA We also thought little Nina was going to be a baby boy so it was priceless when Nick came out to tell us all the news. . .we all jumped up and down with excitement and disbelief. I even scared poor Ty because I couldn't hold in my excitement. I already sent a bag of Abby's old clothes to Nina. . .we couldn't wait to share.
We love you little Nina. We all can't wait to see you again soon and be able to spend more time with you!
