The Story:
I woke up at 1 o'clock in the morning on Friday with MASSIVE contractions! They were so much worse than my little ones that I had since January. I got out of bed because I figured it was the real thing- and tried to do the dishes and straighten my hair before going to the hospital but Colby ended up finishing the dishes and I got to the point where I did not care how I looked in the slightest!
We showed up at the hospital at 3 and I was dilated to a 5 with a "bulging bag." Luckily the Nurse Anesthetist was already there doing another epidural so I got mine within 45 min. My water broke at 6 and I was at an 8- at about 7:20 I got the go-ahead to start pushing and at 7:37 am my little angel made her arrival!! The cord was around her neck and she wouldn't cry at first but they took her and gave her oxygen and she started to pink up a little better.
All in all~ we had a wonderful experience with the whole delivery process. The nurses and other staff were fabulous to us and we cannot thank our family and friends enough for all the love and support!
She had to be under bili lights the next day and then we got to go home later that evening!
We love her so much and cannot believe that she is finally here!
Dad giving her her very first bath!
