Okay, so we have not done a very good job of keeping up with our Blog. Hopefully we will do a better job in the future. A lot has happened since Josh's last posting. We welcomed the newest member of our family (McKinley Raye) April 29th, 2009. She graced us with her presences at 4:17am. She was 6 pounds 5 ounces & 18 1/2 inches long. If you have not heard the story, this pregnancy & delivery was definitely a labor of love. With Caed, I had a perfect pregnancy & delivery. I did not have any problems the whole time & when I went into labor I got my epidural early on & did not feel a thing. Well that is not what happened this time. My little lady was a bit more difficult on me. During the pregnancy, I had morning sickness, swelling, & not to mention contractions for about the last month. I had 2 false alarms, so when I finally was in labor we were not sure if the hospital was going to keep us or not. When I went into the hospital I was 3 cm & I had been having consistent contractions for 3 hrs. I was at the hospital for almost 3 hrs. with no change. Then in the final hr. I jumped from 3cm to 5 cm & they said I was staying & most importantly I could have my epidural. Side note - I got my epidural with Caed when I was 3 cm. So I was in pain this time!!! While waiting to get my epidural I had a huge contraction & felt like I needed to push & then my water broke. The nurse checked me & I was about to deliver!!! There was no time for my precious epidural, I was having her al natural! Needless to say it was the most pain I have ever experienced. I highly recommend the epidural! But now that all is said & done we have a beautiful baby girl!
