She's finally here! Our little bundle of joy FINALLY made it to us! Kate Isabella was born June 26th and was 8 lbs 7 oz and 19.5 inches long.
Here's the birth story . . . On Friday morning around 10:30, I started feeling really mild contractions. They got close together pretty fast. Jake came home for lunch around 12:30 and they were already 4 minutes apart. I took a shower, got my things together and we were off to the hospital by 2:30. By that time, the contractions were about 2 minutes apart. We got checked in and the nurse checked me - I was dilated to a 3.5 and 90% effaced. The doctor told her to break my water to get things moving along. As soon as he broke my water, I got my epidural. Things were smooth sailing from there! I pushed for about 10 minutes and little Kate was here at 6:24 pm. She is such a little angel. She came with nice, kissable chubby cheeks and is such a good baby!
I forgot what it was like to have a newborn - the sleep deprivation fighting the complete happiness over this adorable, sweet little person that just melts your heart! We love her so much already!
Here are some highlights of little Kate's birth day:
Right after coming out of mommy's belly
She's a nice sized girl!
Mom, dad and baby (Emmy came to see us just after this pic was taken)
Proud mama
Proud daddy
Emmy wasn't too sure about what to think of mom in a hospital bed holding a new baby
This is the next day at the hospital. Emmy was watching us change the baby and started warming up to her.
I really love that sweet little face!
I love this pic! My two sweet girls :)
