She's Here

Shes Here!!!!!!
Well she is finally here! We had a doctors appt. today at 1:45. Dr. Singer told me that I was dilated to a 4.5 and if I didn't go tonight that she would take me tomorrow. She stripped my membranes and we left the office. We were very excited and we left and needed to stop at Staples. About 3 minutes into staples the contractions hit me, then another about 2 minutes later, then another. We decided that we didn't have time to go home for anything so we just headed to IMC. As we drove down the canyon they were getting pretty bad and by the time we were to the hospital they were about 1 1/2 minutes apart. The got me in right away. I got my epidural about an hour later. By that time my contractions were so bad. Then after that it was down hill. I only had to push for about an hour and she came at 7:52. She weighed 6.10 pounds and is 21 inches long. She has tons of strawberry blonde hair. She is absolutely beautiful. Here are some pictures, ENJOY!!

Jennifer, I just love your baby. She is so cute. I am so proud of you. You are truly the best mom ever! Trust me, I would know, I have been over twice already and she is only a week old. Anyways, you and Griff are so special and you guys deserve everything that comes your way, especially little Oakley. You two are amazing people and I am so thankful that we are such good friends. You have been there for me so much and I hope one day I can do half the things you have done for me. I love you guys!
