Camrynn Marie has arrived!

What a wonderful day it has been!  A few times here and there I was worried she might not be coming today, but it all worked out AMAZINGLY well.  I couldn't have asked for a better labor and delivery, and baby and I are doing fantastic.  So here's the gist of how things went to get our little angel here!

(yesterday) 3:00 - membranes stripped
7:00-midnight - contractions 7-9 minutes, but everytime I got up and moved around, they'd stop!
1:00 - we went to bed
3:30-4:30 - contractions 2-4 minutes
6:00 - checked into the hospital
6:30 - only .5 cm more than the day before, and contractions had completely stopped
6:38-7:35 - we walked the hallways hoping they'd pick up again, but much to my dismay NOTHING happened.  I was convincced we were going to be sent home, and had to fight to hold back the tears.
8:00 - they chcked me again, and I had gone from 3 cm to 5cm!  We were staying!
8:30 - checked into our L&D room.
9:30 - got the epidural
10:00 - got pitocin started because my contractions were fairly spuradic and not getting consistent or closer than 7-9 minutes apart.
11:00 - the nurse checked me to discover that Camrynn was "right there" and we were okay to push! 
11:20 - the doctor got there, and they set everything up to push.
11:24 - (after 3 LAME pushes) Camrynn Marie was born!


Camrynn Marie Buttle
6 Lbs 7.3 Oz (bigger than Kendalynn, but smaller than Logan!)

18 inches long (shortie!)

So far she seems as sweet as can be, and is an amazingly good little eater!  (When I can wake her up that is!)  Tyler brought the kids by with grandma and grandpa, and Kendalynn was constantly wanted to hold her and to see her toes and tummy.  Logan was happy, but was more excited about playing with things in the room.  :)





 comparing the size of my hand to her body!

 Her hair was so fluffy and long when they brought her back from her bath.  Sooo cute!
