Havin' a riot during labor :)
These were some big contrations. I got an epideral about an hour after my water broke. I hadn't decided on getting an epideral until then. I decided there was no logical reason to feel contractions any more intense than that... but little did I know that my epideral would actually wear off during the last part of labor :) I ended up telling them I was about to have one, then they'd look on the screen and say "yep, you're good". I thought "I am worried about my epideral not working for the final moments!" So, I guess you could say I did the beginning and ending without an epideral. But it was so worth it, of corse! :)
Here is Kate's first beanie and diaper. So small.
How excited we were to have this little one 9 days early, because she's such a doll. She's such a joy to have around. Poor thing had a tough labor but she is a strong little thing. She's tough.
Here's my mom holding the little one. My parents were there during most of the labor, except during the pushing portion. I love my parents but I don't feel that cumfy around them :)
Grandpa admiring his new granddaughter.
Her in her little bassinette. We love this darned thing. We push it all around the house. It's like her own personal limo service.
She's winking at us
So funny! I love this look!
Daddy gettin' close
Kate's sayin' after a week of non-stop picture taking, "Mom and Dad, enough is enough."
We are so thankful to have this sweet one. She is so sweet and calm. She only gets worked up when she's hungry or needs to burp. The whole last week has been quite a ride. Very emotional and tiring but wonderful.
