Well, it's been just over 3 weeks since our sweet Lundyn arrived! We've had our lives turned upside down and couldn't be happier! I thought I'd share her birth story on here....
Lundyn's original due date was January 29th and I was convinced she would come right on time, but Brady knew better and had said all along that she wouldn't come until February. I just thought he was trying to torture me...but he ended up being right on! Anyway, after sitting home for a week anxiously waiting for something to happen our Dr. decided I could finally be induced on Friday, Feb. 4th. I was up at 4 am getting ready for the phone call to come in to the hospital and the darn phone didn't end up ringing until about 10 am because the hospital was so busy! We finally got to go and be admitted, and then the induction process began around 12:30 pm. I felt great and was hanging out with Brady and my parents watching movies until about 6 pm when the doctor arrived and broke my water...that's when the real "fun" began. My contractions began to really get going after that, and I decided to get my epidural around 7:30 pm. Brady was right up in the action with the anesthesiologist while he stuck me! Then it was just more uncomfortable waiting. I remember my epidural started to wear off a couple times during the night, and I was seriously hating life when it did! Finally, around 3 am I was fully dilated. The doctor had me hang in there about 45 more minutes to let the contractions do their thing and then I couldn't take it anymore and needed to start pushing. My epidural had worn off again at this point, so I was pushing with all I had to get that baby outta there! The nurse was surprised how fast the baby was coming so they called my doctor and by the time she arrived, I gave two more pushes and the baby was here! I probably would've only had to push for about 30 minutes...but we waited about 15 for the doctor to get there, and that was the longest 15 minutes of my life!! Anyway, we were all shocked by all the baby's long, dark hair! She was so perfect and gorgeous, and Brady and I were thrilled that she was finally here. We were able to bring her home the next afternoon and we've been learning how to be new parents ever since! We couldn't have been blessed with a sweeter baby. She sleeps well, eats a ton and only fusses when she has to be naked! We love our little Lundyn so much and can't wait to share all her fun milestones as she grows up!
