So after close to 7 full days of staying at the Hospital, we were able to return home. I kinda feel lost as it’s been at least 11 days since I have stepped foot in the house. When I got back into Arizona from the trip to Los Angeles, I honestly picked up Angie and went straight to the Hospital. So it’s nice to be home. But I have tons of things to do this week.
I already miss Maddux as he will be staying with Angie’s family for another week. I just briefly saw him at the hospital when he came to visit Paisley.
It was such a great time seeing Maddux! Our Family has been taking good care of home while we have been here in the Hospital. We will be here for a little longer, so I am really missing Maddux.
Here is a photo I took of Maddux on my iPhone. Maddux was soooooo excited!!! It was such a great moment!!!
*** I couldn’t upload this to our server but you can view this here ***
I got it on the server with a little luck! This hospital doesn’t like certain websites and FTP.

We honestly want to thank everyone for the blog comments, emails, Tweets, Twitter Direct Messages, Facebook emails/comments, phone calls, etc.
I left Laguna Beach in the Orange County area at 9pm after an great engagement session with Anna + Jason and sushi afterwards.
I arrived home around 2:30am and picked up Angie right at the door. She was calling me earlier on Sunday telling me that she was having contractions about 8 to 10 minutes apart. So we left directly to the Hospital and arrived about 3am. We had brief pain before the epidural at 5am. But we all stayed up until around 11am on Monday when Angie was dilated to a 9. Angie started pushing at 11:50pm and with 5 pushes, she gave birth at 12:08pm on August 11th, 2008.
We have been blessed to a beautiful baby girl!!!
We have had a couple of emergencies with Angie afterwards. She has been in tons of pain and they found a cantaloupe sized hematoma inside her uterus. They had to do quite a bit of tests, x-rays, medications, and even surgery. But things are looking better! We are honestly so blessed!
We will be here in the hospital until Friday or Saturday. We have been getting tons of rest while watching the 2008 Summer Olympics. We have received some great visits from Family and Friends.

I also have a very large task ahead of me in finding a middle name. I have a couple names that I truly love, but I would love to see some votes on the favorite. You can vote as many times as you would like. Or leave a comment if you have another special name that you love or has a special meaning.
Thanks again everyone!

08.14.2008Nancy Says:
Wow! Too many cool names to decide….love them all EXCEPT for BABE! Yuck! I love Scarlett, Marie Catherine, and Grace. How about Paisley Summer Sloan. She was born in the summer. And with her Napoleon Dynamite loving family…..it’d be Summer all year long with Paisley!! I vote for Summer! LOL

BABY PAISLEY Has not arrived yet! Angie was supposed to get induced on the 29th of July, but the Dr. decided for some reason not to induce her. So now we are just waiting for her due date this weekend. She went over due with Maddux so hopefully she will go overdue with Baby sister:) (Even though she want’s this baby out now)!
So I have a wedding and 2 engagement sessions this weekend in Los Angeles. I am totally praying my heart out that I will be able to get through the weekend without Angie and get back to see her deliver. But until then, for all family and friends, follow my updates on Twitter or Facebook. I’ll be putting tons of updates up on the Twitter!
I forgot to add these photos of Angie that I took the day after my Birthday as we were waiting for our June 14th, 2008 Wedding of Jennifer & Joel.

We had to get some new and updated photos while Angie has been preggers. So we begged our dear friend, Gretchen, to snap some photos! We couldn’t have been more excited!!! She nailed us. From Matt and Angie comparing belly sizes to Maddux acting crazy to Matt not being in charge, it was so worth every minute of the heat! I feel so pround of my family and the times we share together!!!

I hope you guys are having an awesome day! I recently had a horrible day that turned out so great!
I served Jury Duty today and I seriously didn’t know what to expect. While it was not a great experience, I was able to find something good later on that day. I watched a Primetime ABC TV Show about Randy Pausch which was AMAZING! What a great thing to end a not so great day.
Sometimes inspiration comes in random forms. Sometimes I wish things could be so easy.
Please take the time, someday, in your life to watch this video. And watch for the last couple words that had me in the happiest tears.
