Paige Erin (Nicole) Helm is Here!!!!

I simply had to steal this photo from my sisters blog because she looks like a little angel, and I love her so much. It is amazing how you can truly just love your little nieces and nephews and they have a special place in your heart-- well mine do anyway!! I am so lucky to be bestfriends with all of my sisters, and i just love them so much, and with each new addition to our family I get so excited.
Last Wednesday I woke up and phoned to see how Brittany was doing and her husband told me they were waiting to get her water broke. I got off the phone and exclaimed,"This is just like christmas but better!!!"
I was so excited all day and the day seemed so long as we waited for the good news.....Paige Erin Helm made it saftely here!!! at 2:51pm-It was wonderful news!!

I have been so excited about her from the get go because my sweet sister has 3 boys and this is her first girl, so we are all just ecstatic!!

So naturally I had to set out to find the perfect outfit for my new niece. As I found what I thought was perfect and left the store, I get the text that she is 8 lbs 10 oz.!! Holy Cow!! I glance at the Christmas outfit to see the size read 5-8 lbs. -- No good- She is way past that!!! What a chunky monkey!!

We decided to give her some time to recover and the whole family planned to go see her at 5:30-We couldn't wait much longer than that. So I leave work and am heading to go to the hospital. As I am leaving I send a quick text to make sure that it would be okay. I quickly get a text back from Steve her husband saying that she just started hemorhhaging and the doctors were trying to get it under control, so not right now. I quickly contact my family and siblings and relay the message of what was going on. I decided to stop and kill some time at Target because I really wanted to see them SOON!! I waited to hear word and waited some more, and the news that came was so scary. My brother in law told me that she just started feeling sick and then all of a sudden she started hemorrhaging and didn't stop. The nurses rushed in brittany said all she remembers was it was like a scene in ER where there are nurses rushing everywhere and stabbing her with needles, and pushing on her belly to help with clotting and it was CRAZY. After all was said and done she lost over 2 LITERS of blood. HOW FREAKING SCARY!!! We all mentioned that is why the hospital is the best place to have a baby. She was doing better and they were not sure exactly the cause other than her uterus hadn't fully contracted and there was clotting which is scary- so luckily everything went well and she is okay. We weren't allowed to go see her that night so we all had to wait till the next day!!


Ali and Cam were so excited to see thier new cousin. Cam kept saying "Paige, Paige, my cousin, noahs sister is at the hospital!!" It is exciting for everyone!!

I had to force Ali to hold her, she didn't like how much I was drooling over paige- she is used to all that love and affection headed her way- but finally she broke down and really liked the sweek Paige!!

I am so glad I am already her favorite Aunt. Her real name is Paige Nicole(after me) but Brittany had to pretend it is Erin so my other sisters don't get mad-- I am so glad she has my name sake in there!!!!

Brittany is a trooper for even letting me take any pictures, she had quite the day and was still smiling and wonderful, amazing, and is such a great mom. Paige is one lucky girl!!
