Welcome the the world Selah Jean!
About 1:30 in the morning on Thursday October 22nd I awoke up with contractions and knew our little baby was on his or her way. So this was the one day I was not ready to have a baby. My mom was schedule to come in Friday she had been there for the birth of Anyssa and Luke. She was like a coach and helped my through having them two with out an epidural. I just had to have her there and was certain the baby would wait:) Thursday was also the only day we didn't have someone to watch Luke and stay the night with him. Sadly no kids under 12 where allowed in the delivery and postpartum rooms this year because of the H1N1. So with these factors Thursday was not a good day....but babies have a mind of their own:)
The labor went pretty fast and intense. When I was dilated to 7 I decided to try the epidural and I was sure glad I did. It was great! What a different experience than the birth of my other two. I am glad I had a chance to experience child labor both ways. My Doctor was there and he had me help pull her our once her head was out and laid her on me right away which was amazing! Anyssa was able to be in the delivery room which was really memorable. At 11:00 am exactly little Selah Jean (pronounced Say-la) was born. Man where Mike and I surprised we had a girl. We both where certain it was a boy:) Ha, Ha, Ha! Selah is the perfect addition to our family! I wanted to share some photos of Selah's birthday. I can't believe she is all ready two weeks old today! Camille was able to come and take some great pictures for us, thanks a ton! My mom came in Friday morning early and these are some of hers and a few of them I took in the hospital room. Enjoy there is allot!
