Gracie Lynn is here!

Sunday all day I was having really hard and painful contractions. They were so bad that I was having to breath through them. I really didn't want to go in because we were scheduled to come in Monday morning. But when I was having these contractions where I couldn't talk through them I was worried. We got home from my parents @ about 10:30 p.m. Josh packed the car up and got everything ready for Monday. We went to bed @ 11:15. @ 11:30 I called labor and delivery and told them that we were coming in. We got to the Hospital at 12:15. They checked me and I was @ a 6+. The nurse poked me 2 times to put an IV in but wasn't successful. I had asked for a epidural but they couldn't give me one until I had and IV. I got nauseous and threw up. They then called the Anesthesiologist to come in. He poked me twice but was finally able to get a IV in. Immediately he gave me an epidural and I finally calmed down. Then my water broke and they checked me again. @ this point I was an 8+. Dr. came in and they set up everything for delivery. They then checked again and I was ready to go. Gracie Lynn was born at 2:21 am in the morning. She weighed 6 lb. 7 oz. and was 20 1/4 inches long. She was healthy and perfect. We are so happy that she is here and healthy. Thank you so much Heavenly Father for our wonderful new blessing.
