Poor Shay. This was his bed for the night after she was born. While we were waiting for her to come he had a chair to sleep in.


Here she is being weighed. 7 lbs and 12 oz!


My parents waiting...and waiting....

and waiting....

Shay was really camera happy! It was a long night but she did finally make it!

Caden is really being good with her. When she cries he will go get her a toy. He loves to kiss her too!

Titan is so happy she is here. He is a good big brother and gets really concerned when she cries.


Of course... Orion is a huge helper. He loves her. He has been helping out with Caden while I take care of her. He is an amazing boy!

Grandma bought this outfit for her. Isn't she cute!

On the front of this pink dress it says "Daddy's Girl" . She is a Daddy's girl! Shay is in love!

Shay bought this teddy for her when she was born.


I started having contractions on Tuesday night. Then around 2 am Wednesday morning they were getting bad. I got up took a bath and they didn't go away. Shay woke up around 4 am and we went for a walk. They still didn't go away but they weren't consistent and I knew if I went to the hospital they would just send me home so I just stayed in bed. My back was in so much pain and then around noon they started dying down a little. Shay and I had a Temple date planned and I really wanted to go. When he got home around 1 pm we went on our date. We went to the Temple and the Sealer kept making jokes about me going into to labor. Little did he know...I was in labor!I had a few small contractions while we were in there and when we got done my heavy contractions started up again and once again they weren't consistent. So we went home and took the babysitters to YW. Shay had to run to the office and I started having bad back pain. So bad that I called him and said we have got to go now. He came home and Krista came to stay with our kiddos for the night. We got up there and they got me all hooked up. Sure enough my contractions were not consistent and the nurse said I was dilated to a 4 and I might have to go home until they get more consistent. I had to walk and if I made change then I might stay. I was in too much pain to go home! Well by the time we got back from our little walk I was a 5 1/2 and they admitted me. By the time we got to the room which was around 11:30 I was a 7 and in so so much pain!. I was moving fast and the nurse said WOW your not going to be preg much longer. HAHAHA! I didn't change much after that! 6 hours later... At around 6:00am I was finally at a 10 and the doc came in and wanted me to consider a c-section because they thought she was going to be big like Caden. They were worried that she would get stuck too. I got a priesthood blessing from Shay and my dad and felt good about going natural. Besides that, I had gone almost 28 hours and now they want to bring up a C-section! At 6:20am the doc broke my water and she was born 12 minutes later. ( I told the nurse to brake my water hours earlier!) I pushed 1 time. I wouldn't even call it a push. She was ready to come. My contractions NEVER became consistent. They really shouldn't go by that!! But overall it wasn't a bad experience it was just long. She was face up so that is why the long and back pain labor. Otherwise it would have been much quicker. Plus they should have broke my water earlier! The nurses were all great, the doc was great and now we have a beautiful little girl at home!!
