SHE'S HERE....


PAISLEY SNOW
Born March 29, 2009 at 6:31pm
7 lbs. 4oz.
20 in.



I was scheduled to be induced on Monday March 30th but started having contractions early Sunday morning. After hours of timing them we finally decided to head to the hospital. Well they usually say that the second labor is shorter than the first but unfortunately in this case that wasn't true. I was having regular contractions but they weren't doing anything so they decided to try the pitocin. The pitocin made the contractions stronger but I was still not making any progress. So after twelve hours of sitting with contractions they finally decided to break my water. That was at 4:00pm on Sunday. Around 4:30 I got the epidural and a half an hour later went from being dialeted from a 4 to a 7. I had been dialated at a 4 since the time I arrived at the hospital. An hour later the nurse came in and I was at a ten and ready for delivery. So she called the doctor and after 15 minutes of pushing Paisley was finally here. She is perfect and a really good baby. Jaxon is adjusting well, we are just trying our best to keep his routine the same with little interruptions. We are now home from the hospital and are ready to start our lives as a family of four. We will continue to post pictures and keep you updated. Thanks for everyone's love and support!
