On December 27th at 5:22 p.m. we got to meet our beautiful little girl! She weighed 8lbs 10 oz and is 20 in long!! For measuring small my entire pregnancy, we were sure shocked at what a chunk she is! She is such a sweetie, and we love having her in our lives.

At four o'clock that morning my water broke so Josh and I packed up and headed to the hospital. When I got there I was 2cm and 80% effaced. Around 8 o'clock there was still no change, so we waited another two hours... Even then I was only a 3. Two more hours passed with no change.. I had been having contractions all morning, and they got to be very painful so I got an epidural which helped a lot, but only worked on one side at a time! It was very frustrating.. I was also very sick and throwing up. So I was pretty miserable by the time my Dr said they could FINALLY start me on pitocin. Within a couple of hours I was a 5 and within one more hour I was a 10! They had me do an hour of rest and descend and then told me it was time to push. My nurse said I would be pushing for 1-3 hours, but within 10 minutes I was holding my little girl! It was such an amazing experience, I can't believe I did it! My Dr was out of town the 26th-28th, so I had the on call Dr. Which made me really nervous, but he turned out to be really nice. Plus Josh and our parents were so sweet and supportive the entire time, I don't know what I would have done without them!
