As most of you know, I started at 3 days before my due date trying to get her here. I walked and walked and did everything I could think of to get her here. After my due date came and went I to give it a rest and decided that she will come when she comes.
At my 41 week apointment I was measuring small and had lost 2 pounds, they wanted to do an ultrasound and she measured the size of a 38 week old. So they sent me home and a started walking again, hoping to get things started. Then they called me and said that the doctor on call wanted me to come in and be induced. I was kind of bummed that I was going to have to use pit, because I was hoping to go natural, but for the babies saftey I decided to do it.
So we went in and they broke my water and I went from a 3 to a 5 on a matter of minutes, so I thought I was going to be able to avoid the pit. But after more walking, I wasn't making hardly any more progress. So they started pit and I was doing well relaxing through it and after about and hour or so I was at a 6 and 80 percent efaced.
We decided to use the tub. I was in there for about 10 or 15 minutes and I was starting to feel like I wasn't handeling contractions as well in there. I said "if this is a 7, I don't think I can do this!"
I decided to get out but before I could get out I felt a lot of pressure and they called the nurse In and she checked my cervix and with a suprised look said "you're having a baby!" She rushed out of there and I went to get out and I stood up and then the contractions got so intense that I couldn't even move!
My mom and Kathrine were standing there holding me up and then we realized that I may not make it to the bed. Thankfully I did get to the bed, barely, and then I just started to push cuz I really couln't stop if I wanted to. In about 4 pushes she was out. I didn't even see anyone in the room until after she was born because I was so focused on what I was doing. I am just glad someone was there to catch her even if I had no idea at the time who it was at the time.
So I went from a 6 to delivery in about 45 minutes. It was fast to say the least. After all was said and done I was happy with how it went. I still wish I could have gone into labor on my own, but maybe it is a good thing that I didn't. I would probably not have made it to the hospital in time.
I have been suprised at how well recovery has gone. I can deffinitly tell a defference there. Also it was AMAZING to me that the very second that she was born, all the contraction stopped completely. The human body really is an amazing thing.
I am glad I did hypnobirthing. I don't think I could have done it without the things that I learned. I have also found myself using the techniques they teach to relax in other areas of life.
So There you have it....That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
she is smiling at Derek in this one. She thinks he is funny. Maybe it is all the funny sounds he makes at her. 
Derek's office. He calls his man room. He does not like to have anything girly or pink in that room. Who can blame the poor guy. He is kind of out numbered around here.

Ah, what to do with a sleeping baby and a camera!!!
Here is her collage, so I can have all of them on the wall!!!
She is such a sweet baby!
Yes the flower is about as big as her head, but I couldn't resist!!
She successfully stole the hearts of many nurses at the hospital.
Of course her sisters are more than delighted to have her here!
She does look a lot like Kenna did when she was born
Mylee loves her and tells me that she is beautiful all the time amd when she cries she will tell me "Mom, she is a little bit hungry"
This is from today. She is already starting to get some squishy cheeks.
