Oh BABY!

September 4, 2013

A perfect day to have a baby! 

And I really wanted her to come on the 4th because I love the number, so I guess all the waiting wasn't to bad of a deal!

I'm not really into writing a novel birthing story, but here's briefly how it all went down, or came out!

We finally got a call a little after midnight on September 4th and they told us they had a room and to come in. 

We got settled in.

I was dilated to a 1.

They started me on the first of 3 doses of something to get me started....forgot what it is called but it ripens your cervix. Worked like a charm on the first dose when I had Stockton and I was hoping for a repeat reaction!

I did lots of walking.

Did some sleeping.

Did some peeing.

Did some drinking....water of course.

Progressed very fast! One dose worked!

5:30 a.m. got the epidural.

Dr. Dyer showed up shortly after. Loved seeing his face of course, such a great Doc!

6:58 a.m. Peyton Lee Moore was born!

She weighed in at 6 pounds 13 ounces and 21 inches long.

What a relief that she was here safe and sound!

And we felt so blessed and were instantly in love!

We also felt like we were looking at a girl version of Stockton!

Pictures to document:

needed a little oxygen...

With both kids in school my mom was able to come over quickly and meet Peyton!

In our recovery room, oh how I love our new hospital!

Peyton meeting Grandma Great Allen

Peyton meeting Abby and Stockton for the first time. Love these memories:
