That Time we had a baby

We had a BABY...a month ago haha. Miss Braylee Diane was born on March 11th. She weighed 6.7 and was 20inh long. Super chill and super sweet baby so far. Everyone is in love with her. This was my only baby that didn't come early. With Adalie, Cason, and Brody all being early (1, 2, and 4 weeks) we were SO SURE she was going to be coming early and no where near her due date. Well, it looks like she was turned wrong, so although I was having TERRIBLE pains, false labor non stop - she wasn't going to be coming on her own. So we set an induction date for that morning at 6 a.m. Rebecca and Brandon came to stay with the kiddos the few days while I was in the hospital which was SUCH a relief and helped me de-stress about the whole situation. It is always so hard to have family so far away - Dr apts, carting kids around, grocery shopping - it's always a million times harder with no one to "drop" the kids off too "real quick" to go and run and errand. They either come with or you don't go....so ya HUGE help for us. We had a friend backed up for emergencies but making it to a scheduled date was actually kind of nice this time to plan it all out. and this way I knew I would get rugs =) haha.

We went in at 6a.m. got all checked in and hooked up and they started me on pitocin at about 7:30. Dr came in to see us and check me around 8:30, but decided not to pop my water because she had 2 c sections she needed to do first and wanted to be able to be there if baby came. I got my epidural around 9:30 (which was heaven) and then was chillin until Dr Truit came back in after lunch to check me out again and popped my water. 15 mins later, the nurse came in because baby girls heart rate was super fast, checked me, said "Do not move" ran out and got the Dr and as they were trying to get the labor table ready, Dr. truit barely made it to catch baby girl who kinda just fell out on the bed. The Dr. didn't even have time to put her gloves on...had to catch her with her hands still in her sleeves. Daddy got to cut the cord, mommy got teary, and baby girl was so little and perfect. Brett and I were extremely glad however that all those nights were wanting my water to break, it didn't - otherwise we would have delivered a baby at home. NO WAY we wold have made the 22 min drive to the hospital, and since there was no pushing involved, she would've literally just fallen out in the parking lot at best.

Brett got to stay with me in the hospital the whole time thanks to my wonderful sister. We haven't been able to do that since Adalie was born. the kids came up on the 12th to meet Braylee and fell in love, which I am so glad. Brody could have card less after the fist meeting and even a few days after but now - always wants to touch and kiss her all over.

As of now - Braylee is out last one. Brett is 100% sure and I am about 90%. Its not that I think I want another, its the option of doing so being completely out of the picture....does that make any sense?

Anywho, we love our little girl and are SO excited she is finally here. Welcome to our beautiful family Braylee Diane
