Home at Last!

BEAUTIFUL


The first few moments!


She already loves her daddy, she recognizes his voice (it's so cool).

Happy little family!


After she got all cleaned up.

We had such a great day on Wednesday, Brooklyn was born.
We nervously arrived at the hospital at 07:00 Wednesday ready to get our little girl here. We were taken back to labor room #2 (The same room I was born in :)) and the nurse started getting us ready. She went through all the usual questions (medical history, weight, height, etc) then got me hooked up to all the little monitors.

She monitored me for a little while before starting the pitocin (the medicine that makes the contractions start) and then we were off! It felt like it was taking all day because I wasn't moving along very fast but once I was at a 5 things went way fast!!!

Labor was not near as bad as everyone had made it seem. The contractions were horrible until I got my epidural but after that I was so relaxed! I only had to do four sets of pushes (which took about ten minutes), it went so fast!!!

We are so happy she is here! I will be posting a ton of pictures for you all to see (you'll be able to tell she is our first baby).
