We have a BABY!!!!!

We have our long awaited arival!!!!! She is beautiful and perfect! Having her is the best thing ever!!! I am very fulfilled right now and love her very much.

Now I will answer the questions...
Yes she was early. She was due November 25th and was born October 25th. She decided she was ready and woke me up at 5 a.m. My water broke at 5 and she was here at 6:39 a.m. I did have to have a c-section but only because she is stubborn and stayed breech and they didnt want to take the risk of her getting stuck or hurt. I was disapointed I couldnt do natural birth like I had planned but I am glad that she is healthy and it didnt take long. For all those that kept saying I would end up getting the epidural I am proud to announce that I was dialated to a five when we got to the hospital and the contractions only got stronger and closer together and they were like a light cramp from my period so i could have totally done it!!

She came out and screamed her head off. She screamed while she got checked, wiped down wrapped up all the way until they brought her to me. That was a great feeling I must say. She weighed 6 lbs 2 oz and measured 18 1/2 in. She did have to be in the NICU for a bit but only because she was so early and they wanted to keep her monitored to check her vitals and all. This was fine with me because they checked her all the time and had her hooked up to monitor her heart and all that which I like. I have found that I am not imune to the new mother habit and I do put my finger or a mirror under her nose to make sure she is breathing. She is slightly Joundus but it never got to the point that she needed treatment.

Really she is a rock star!! One of the pediatritians said that she needs to teach all the other babies how to act. She was premature, but it only took us one day to learn how to breast feed and she actually didn't lose as much weight as most babies and she actually gained weight before we leave. She kept up her body temp up on her own really well as well as all her vitals. She is just amazing!

That's all for that any questions I missed post em and I will answer.

Now for the fun stuff...Pictures!!! I have to warn you though. You are about to see a super cute girl that will melt your heart so be prepared. Here you are!

Here is Thomas and I before the C-section and don't let him fool you, he is freaking out! Lets just give the shortened version of what happened when my water broke and say that I was in the car with it running ready to go and he was in the bathroom puking.


And here she is! I was just wheeled out of recovery and my nurse took me to see her since I hadn't really seen her much yet. Poor baby had so many wires :(




Daddy dressed her for the first time. He was down in the NICU every chance he got. He loves her so much! Don't worry the tube comming out of her nose is her feeding tube and it was by my request. If they don't feed them through a tube it is much harder to breast feed and being my first time I didn't want anymore obsticles.


Here she is trying to wave! No not really it just looks like it and I thought it was funny.


Here is Dad changing her diaper


She looks so tiny next to Daddy!


She is about to take her first car ride, because we are going home!!!!


Next is just random pics of my sweet baby!
