Our beautiful little girl was born just over a week ago. Its hard to beleive its already been a week! She has been such a blessing to Chase and I- we just love her! Everyone has asked to hear the "birthing story" so instead of telling it 20 times I'll post it on here!
I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday June 3, my origanal due date. The doctor told me I wasn't ready at all, and we would just schedule a date to be induced. So, we scheduled Sunday June 7 to go in and get things rolling. I was sad she wasn't ready to come, but happy to know that on sunday it wold all be over! I went about the rest of the week getting everything in order before the big day. Friday night Chase wanted to go out to eat- one last date before Rylee joined our family. We went to Carrabbas, one of our favorites!! It was so much fun to go out with my husband- we hadn't been out for a while. The whole time I kept telling Chase that Rylee was kicking me so hard. She had never moved or kicked like that before. We thought nothing of it and finished our date at Walmart getting a DVD to watch that night. I could barely walk in to the store, but just thought it was the end of the day and i had been going all day. Thats what usaully happened on days that I over did it! We got home, got ready for bed and started watching our movie. We both fell asleep around 10:45, but at 11:25 were woken up by water.... lots of water!! I sat straight up in bed and said, " Chase, I can't stop peeing. I think my water broke!" I ran to the bathroom, " peeing" the whole time. Chase kept telling me, " make it stop you are getting it all over the carpet." Well, just so all of you know once your water breaks you can't just pinch it off and hold it in... its coming weather you like it or not. We called my mom and told her to meet us at the hospital, and we got ourselves ready to go. Our bags were already packed so that made it nice to just grab them. Chase gave me a nice blessing before we left. We got to the hospital around midnight. I was immediatley put in a room and hooked up to an IV. I hate IV's ( or any needle in general) and the nurse coulsn't get it in, so my stress level was rising. We finally got it in and were just waiting for something to happen. I hadn't dialated yet, so they just kept coming in to check me every hour. The contractions didn't start until about 2:45 am. I would have them about every 3 minutes, and they would last about 30 seconds. I couldn't talk or hardly breath while I was having them. By 3:00 am the nurse was ordering me an epidural. I was SCARED to death to get a huge needle in my back. They had me curl up in a ball and try to relax. Chase was holding one hand, and my mom was holding the other. Chase was so great through all of this! He was so calm during the whole delivery. I was sweating by the time they were done, but at least it was done and the pain was gone. Whoever invented the epidural is going staright to Heaven! Further more all moms who gave birth before they had epidurlas all get gold stars! Anyways, We kind of just slept on and off through the night. My mom and Chase rotated form the the chair to the floor to the foot of the bed to the other chair. I felt so bad for Chase he had been up since 4 am the day before and worked a 13 hour day. He was exhausted! At 9:30 am the nurse came in to check me, and I was only at a 4. I had only gone from a 1 to a 4 between midnight to 9:30 am. We all thought okay, this birth is going to take a while. Its my first baby and my body just doesn't get it yet. She came back in at 11:00 am and I was a full 10! We were all shocked. She called Doctor Dewey, and he told her to have me start pushing. I couldn't believe that it was finally time to have this little girl. For nine months I had waited and now it was time. Our nurse told me I would probably push for about 2 hours, so get ready for a lot of pushing. Chase found the Florida State game on TV, so during pushing and contractions we watched the game. About a half hour into it she said she could see the head. I asked if she had hair?! She turned to Chasey and said, " Well dad, why don't you come look and tell her." Chase bent down and saw the head coming out, and yes she did have hair! Chasey thought the whole thing was amazing- most men pass out, but Chase just watched it in awe! Dr. Dewey came in about 11:40 and started doing his thing. He had to use the forcepts, but only for a second. He put them in and I half pushed and she was out! All of a sudden I saw a little hand stretching up- it was the neatest thing! She was born at 11:51 am! She was healthy and beautiful and she was ours! I watched as they cleaned her off and weighed her. Chase was glowing. He was such a proud dad! I have seen Chase cry very few times, but he was in tears watching his baby girl. It was so neat to see him hold her for the first time. They gave her to me after I was all stitched up, and I immedialty fell in love with her! She looked 100% like Chasey when she was born. She was for sure his baby. She has been the best baby, and we are so gratful for her. I can't believe she already 9 days old. She has chnaged so much already! Chasey and I are very thankful that she is here and she is healthy!

First Dr. Appointment
We had to go get checked for juandis ( not sure how to spell it) She was only at 13, but they wanted to to check anyways. It went down to 9.3 within 48 hours
She is so much fun- I can't get enough of her
Chasey came home from work and got all showered. He was so excited to hold her. He picked her up and she puked all over him and the couch! I was laughing so hard!
Grandma Paula ( my mom) helped us out so much the first week. She cooked and cleaned for us every day, and she let us sleep too. It was so nice to have her there!

Jovy came over one afternoon to see her. It was so fun to have her there!
Her cheeks are getting so chubby- I love it!
I had been in the house for 3 days and had to get out. I don't dare take her anywhere cause of Swine Flu and RSV, so we went to visit Grandma Darling. We have gone there alot cause I know there aren't alot of people going in and out of her house. Its so nice to go over there. Grandma takes her and holds her, and I can kind of rest!
Chase loves his little girl. I found them like this when I got out of the shower
One of her first sponge baths
Shani and her family came down last week. She brought us a bunch of new bows. Shani likes the BIG bows- so do I! Here she is modeling one of them
Kate wanted to keep her. She would hold her for about two seconds and then be done. She would say over and over again I love her I love her. You can see all the hand sanitizer she put on her hands.
Mallori held her for a good hour. She did really good with her!
All tired out from a day with her cousins
We also went to Johns house the othe day. I guess we dare go to grandmas and Johns! MaKenna just loves babies. When we got there Kenna said, " What are you doing here?" Then she saw the baby and said, " Oh yous guys can come in!"
Chase said Sayla was going to potato punch Rylee. Sayla would stare at her and laugh and then all of a sudden lunge for her. It was hillarious!
One more picture of her at a week old!
