Introducing Amilya Beatrice!

 We arrived at the hospital at about 7:30 a.m. to be induced...

Last time being pregnant..bittersweet

My man and I before contractions started...

Amilya's heartrate started to slow after they broke my water, so I had to have oxygen...

Labor went really well.  I think this was my best labor of all three kids.  I warned them when I got there that my body reacts really well to pitocin.  I don't think they believed me until they realized that after 3.5 hours I was ready to push!

After 4 pushes, she was out!

I was really glad that we induced 5 days early because she was 8.3 lbs!  There was also meconium in my amniotic fluid (which means she pooped in the amniotic sac).  This is a sign that they are full term and ready to come.  If we would have waited she most likely would have gotten the meconium in her lungs which can cause problems.  Luckily it was not in her lungs, and she was breathing just fine.  Right after she came out, they threw her on my chest, and she started pooping AGAIN!  I had poop all over me.  It's a good thing she is adorable!

8.3 lbs, 20.5 inches

Born at 12:56 p.m.

She has Dad wrapped around her fingers already!

My mom was able to be in the delivery room too...

Welcome to the world little Amilya Bea!  We already adore you!
