miller paige.

oh miller. you couldnt be more perfect.

so i had a baby about 6 hrs ago. and want to remember the details. she is a bit of a gagger right now so they took her for a few - so i shall write.

when i went to the dr last thursday, i was "maybe 1cm and still thick". ugh. we had set today as the induction day for various reasons, but at least i had an end date, right? :)

this morning i get to the hospital, go to the bathroom, and yep -- bloody show. lol so labor was impending, im sure. i get checked -- 3cm. yahoo!! a great start. the only prob was that she was not engaged yet and still floating around so we couldnt break my water yet.

730 - check in
830 - pit started
sometime soon after that - got epidural

by lunch, i was about 5-6cm. and she was scooting down.
my mid afternoon - i was 7-8 and was finally down.

the dr was coming at 4pm to break my water. i was about 8cm when he broke my water, then BAM! water gone, her head when right there, and i was ready to go. i pushed twice - well one actually push, then another slowwww "get her out" push. and i had another gorgeous baby girl.

7lbs 10.5oz and 20" :) which, btw, were reese's stats, too haha she laid on me for a long while, got cleaned off, then breastfed right away, only to stay *awake* for the next few hours... just staring... like aidan did when she was born.

at first i exclaimed "omg she is reese's twin. she looks just like reese!!" but now i sort of think sawyer. but the best thing about all my girls is that they look alike, but each sweetie pie has their own look and are still so different.

oh. and. in case youre wondering -- SHE HAS HAIR! lol like, what? ASR has the little fuzz layer, but not HAIR! ::faint:: right now it looks dirty blonde, but then a nurse said "wait, is there red in there?" so maybe its coming later. or maybe, just maybe, i got my only little blondie like *me* haha

my parents brought the girls up this afternoon and, man, we are lucky. they were just over the moon <3 well, reese wasnt 100% sure what was happening, but she DID enjoy eating my food ;) sawyer just kept wanting to kiss her and aidan just... i cant even explain. she has been waiting for this for so long haha

EJ and i are so in love with our new little girl. i have lots of actual camera pics of the day and of my family coming to visit, but here are some cell pics for now.

welcome to the world, sweet girl. we love you so much already.

  13. I grew up with three sisters and we have a picture of the older three of us in the hospital with #4 that is almost identical to your last one. It just reminded me of those years growing up with all of us girls and how much me enjoyed it. Your girls are going to be blessed with best friends for the rest of their lives. They are going to love having so many sisters!

    Congratulations!

  21. Congrats, congrats! I just found out I'm pregnant with #2, so that could explain why I'm holding back tears now after reading. Or, it could just be that you have a BEAUTIFUL family. Eh, likely it's a bit of both. ';) Now I'm secretly hoping for a little sister for my Eva (who's a couple days older than Reese, btw)
