I know that this is a few weeks overdue, but our baby finally came!!! Heather started having contractions around 1 in the morning, and by 2:30-3:00 we were out the door on the way to the hospital! we went to a little room where they made sure Heather was in labor. we were in there for a little over an hour when the nurse came in and checked Heather out, and she was kind of implying that the doctor would not admit us into the hospital. 5 Minutes later the Nurse comes in with a surprised look on her face and says, "the doctor admitted you!" so we got to our room at about 5:00-5:30, and were there only about an hour when Heather said, "I think I want my epidural now." so we got that done at 6:30. A few hours past by, and not a whole lot happened. about 10:00 the nurse came in and said that the baby's heartbeat was getting too low when heather had a contraction, so they hooked heather up to an oxygen mask. Heather is the only person I know who would smile and be hooked up to so many machines at the same time.

We had visits from the doctor, and he broke her water. Around 11:45 Heather said the contractions were getting more intense, and by 12:00 we were pushing. we started pushing before the doctor even got there (that kinda freaked me out because in my mind I'm thinking we need the doctor here in case the baby pops out). The Doctor arrived shortly after, and he was all business! He came in and told the Nurses how he needed things and what they didn't need. any who, he instructed Heather along, and I counted to 10 like any husband does. and at 12:30 exactly Bam!


We had our little Girl! Her name is Brooke, and she weighed 7lbs. 5 oz and was 21 inches long. she is a cute little girl and we love her lots.
We Finally got to go home, and we are loving having her around. at first it was strange that we finally had our baby home. that moment felt like it would never come. we showed her her new home, and she fits right in. She is a sweet little girl, and we love her lots.
