She is here!!!!
Born February 25, 2014 at 10:02 pm. Weighing 8 lbs 12 oz. and 21 inches long.
Right after she was born.
We went in on Monday night, February 24 to start the delivery. The first medicine was given at 10:00. My water broke at 11:30. Dr. Patterson came in around 8:00 am and I was only dilated between 1 and 2. I did get the epidural right after she checked me because contractions were pretty strong. She thought we would have a baby by mid afternoon. However, that was not the case. I did dilate to 8-9 and we started pushing around 8:00 with no luck. She decided to try the vacuum and see if we could get her out. Her head was hitting my pelvic bone with the way she was turned. That didn’t work either. We headed to surgery for c-section. She even had a difficult time getting her out because the way she was turned and her position. She was born with a good bit of bruising on her face and head. She had a pretty large skinned place on her left side of head. It looked like a carpet burn. There was swelling on the back of her head with several fluid filled spots. It was a long day of delivery.

Headed to surgery.
Two of my biggest fans.
My Aunt sent me this pic and said Chet was talking to her. He told her he had waited a long time for her. (I guess almost 10 years was a long time.)

When I got back to the room. By this point we had been up for about 36 hours with very little sleep.
When they brought her to room. I had gotten to see her just a few minutes in recovery after surgery. They brought her to the room around 1:00 am.

We are just smitten with her.
