On June 10th, our family welcome Katelyn Alexa to the world. Our day started at 5:30 am.
(My last picture being pregnant)
My doctor scheduled for me to be induced because I had been at a 3 and 80% effaced for two weeks. She was worried about infection. So we got to the hospital and got changed and in the bed ready to get the show on the road. I was started on the Platocin at around 6 and Dr. King came to break my water at 8. She figured she would be here around dinner time (5 or 6). I asked for my epidural around 9:30 (I am a wimp). Jared and I both slept for a while after that. I dialated about 1 cm every hour after that. Around 6ish I was between a 9 and a 10. Charge Nurse Betty (who was GREAT) had me start doing some pushing to try to get me to the 10. She wanted to be there when the baby was born, her shirt was from 7 am to 7 pm. Dr. King was called a little after 7ish to head to the hospital. Katelyn arrived at 7:58.
We had a few complications along the way. Her head (13 in) was having a hard time so I was cut. Then her sholders got stuck, that was a terrible 30 seconds for me. The delivery went from cool and collected to hurry and rush! Dr. King was putting out orders and it's never good when you hear her say "you, start timing!". Since her sholders were stuck she couldn't breathe and was turning blue... BUT about 30 seconds later she was on my stomach crying! =) It was a great moment. Then Dr. King informed me that I had torn and it was a 4th degree (come to find out the worst)! However, she was worth it! After I was all fixed up, Katelyn had plenty of visitors!

I have a friend, Meegan Weaver, who is a photographer and she agreed to come take pictures of Katelyn being cleaned up and with Jared for the first time. They are some of the most precious pictures ever. She is also going to take her newborn pictures very soon.
She posted a blog about Katelyn with more pictures. Go check out our baby girl and Meegan's work. Also check back over the next week or so for her newborn pictures.
our blog is posted on June 14th.
