Our baby girl



Well she has arrived! As stated in my previous post, my water broke Sunday morning around 5am. We went to the hospital around 7, but unfortunately I was not having any contractions. I walked around the hospital for a little while, but still nothing happened. So they decided to start petosin to get things rolling. Around 12 I was still only 4 centimeters dilated but was starting to have painful contractions, so I gave in and asked for the epideral. What a wonderful decision that was! By 2 I could feel that she was ready to make her appearance, and only had to push 3 times to get her out. She officially arrived into this world at 2:39pm on April 15th weighing 8 pounds 12 ounces and was 20 inches long. She is absolutely adorable and we are all smitten:-) Here are a couple pictures.....I am in the process of putting together a slideshow and that should be up soon. Recovery has been pretty good, although a little tougher the third time around. Thanks to everyone for their love and prayers!
