Wow... I still can't believe she is actually here!!! I was starting to feel like I was going to be pregnant forever.
The Story...
It all happened really fast, my water broke at 5:20 am Thursday morning while I was sleeping. I woke Nick up and said you need to call someone now to come watch the boys, we need to go to the hospital. He called our friend Amber who was here in less than 20 minutes. My contractions held off until we got in the car for the 15 minute ride to the hospital. They started about 5 or 6 minutes apart. We got to the hospital and the nurse checked to make sure that my water had actually broken. Then, I got hooked up to an IV and all that fun stuff and my contractions were about a minute apart. They weren't lasting very long, but I didn't have much of break between them. The nurse checked me and I was 4 cm dilated and 80%. My contractions were starting to get worse, still a minute apart, so I got an epidural (sweet relief). The nurse checked me after my epidural was put in I was 6 cm and 90%, so I went from a 4 to 6 in about 45 minutes. My contractions still a minute apart, I started to feel pressure with each one. She checked me again, 8 cm and 100%, she called Doctor Card and by the time she got there I was ready to push. I only had to push for less than 10 minutes and she was born at 10:12 am. So from start to finish about 5 hours, I thought that was not to bad, considering I was induced with the last two (I have to say this was a lot nicer).
I was very excited I went into labor all by myself!!! We are so glad to finally have little girl in the house!!

I think Nick is very excited to have a little girl, he is already starting to spoil her.
My wonderful doctor.
Brodie and Austin sure do love her!!!
Corbin was a little unsure at first, but he is starting to warm up to her.
I was feeling really good and decided to come home Friday night. I am so glad I did, I slept a lot better in my own bed than the hospital bed. We are doing good, just trying to remember what it is like having a newborn in the house.
