XP: Kaleigh Lynn has arrived!
Hello all, I've missed you! So let me start out by saying, breast feeding is not easy and I commend any woman that does it and does it well. Ok so now to the good stuff. I went into the hospital Tues 2/22 at 5:00am and I was on a pitocin drip by 6:30. I wanted to hold off until about 6cm to get an epidural however... I made it to 4 and said screw it lol. That was working good for a bit then it only worked on the left so I had to lean to my right and they gave me more which helped a little. I wasn't making progress really quickly so after the epi they broke my water and my little angel had taken a bowel movement inside me. That worried me a bit b/c I had read about the dangers of that... but my dr didn't seem too concerned. So at about 5:30 they checked me and I was 7cm, 90%, and -1. Then at 7 I felt lots of pressure so I asked to be checked and BAM her head was right there. I pushed for maybe 15-20 min and tada my pretty princess was born. She was 6lb 13.5oz (I was 6lb 14oz when I was born, I thought that was kinda cool) and 20in long. She is her father's daughter as you'll see below in the pics b/c she is a full on GINGERRRR!! Haha, I love it though. The nurses keep telling me how rare it is for them to see a redhead and they get really excited when they do. Ok well there it is folks, my birth story. I am so happy, and she's so perfect. She does like to sleep vs. eat though lol so a lot of the time when they bring her in to eat she refuses to wake up. Silly girl.... Anyway I'm gonna try and feed her now I hope all you bumpies enjoy the pics!
