Our little girl has arrived! We have been and still are really busy with taking care of our new little girl so I won't post photos yet. But we will soon. She is so adorable and cute and we both can't stop looking at her.
On Friday night Missy was having contractions about a 3 minutes apart and they were strong enough to not be able to talk through them. We went into the hospital, and when we got their, her contractions moved back to every 10 minutes (which is where she was for the past 2 weeks.)
When they checked Missy's heart rate and pressure, they found her pressure to be a little high. She also had all the bad symptoms like a headache, seeing spots, stuff like that. They did a blood test on Missy to see how bad this problem was.
An hour after taking her blood, our attending nurse walked in with an ARM LOAD of medical supplies explaining the situation. Missy's blood pressure was definetely high and the doctor thought it would be safer to just induce instead of waiting for the BP to get worse. So Missy was induced at 10pm while she was dilated to 3 cm.
at 12am on June 14th her contractions got bad enough that Missy asked for an epidural. Right after the epidural (which took 3 minutes) they checked Missy and found her to be at 4 cm.
Missy than fell asleep while I walked around the hospital, went to get some food, talked with my sister and mom. Glad the person giving birth could sleep because I surely could not.
They checked her at 2am and found her to be at 8cm. and then at 3am she was at 10 and all ready to go. The nurse had her practicing pushing so the baby was really close to coming out and then called the doctor (she pushed through about 3 contractions when the nurse called for the doctor).
The doctor was sleeping at home, so Missy slept while we waited the 30 minutes for the doctor to get there and get all suited up to go. Missy woke up and started to push and within 3 contractions our little girl had arrived. she weighed 7 lbs. 5 oz. and was 17.5 inches long.
Everything went perfectly and we could not have asked for anything to go better. We really feel blessed with our new little girl and can't wait to introduce you to her.

It was pretty nice, we had Courtney, the same nurse that took care of us for our "practice run" she was amazing and made everything so easy. We had so much fun with her. I hope we're still here for the rest of the births. Mission's nurses are all amazing!
