Baby Girl!

She's here, our beautiful baby!!!
Weight: 8 lbs. 2 oz.
Length: 21 inches


Saturday
12:30pm-Checked into Castle Medical Center for an induction.
2pm-started my Petosin, dialated 3cm
Once dilated to 4cm, they broke my water to speed up the process, which is when I asked for the epidural. That was all good, but I could still feel a lot of pressure in my lower back. Baby was pressing against my tailbone.
7am-10cm, fully dilated, so I started pushing. Jason and my mother were there in with me throughout the whole process. I threw up throughout because I was not reacting well to the medication.
9:31am-Finally, after 2 and 1/2 hrs, she came out...Screaming!!! Once they cleaned her up a little, we were skin to skin, and she went quiet.
This was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, even with the epidural, but I'm grateful that everything went well and was successful and our baby is so beautiful and healthy.
Before...Dr. Tina Doyle
*Our visitors-Jermaine, Teisa and Raglan who celebrated her 1st birthday too!!
*15th (Tuesday)-Time to check out of room 106 and go home!
