Mylee Sienna Arrives!

The big day arrives as Makayla's baby sister wants out! My contractions started first thing this morning at around 7am. Again, it was like the identical feeling when I had Makayla. I wasn't sure but more sure than the first time that it's probably it and that the baby was coming today! I had plans to go scrapbooking with Janai this morning but I had to make the call to her that I'm busy having a baby. Too funny that I was trying to get one last scrap day in before she arrived! Janai was already on her way up here to meet me so she just came right to the hospital instead with her Scrap Queen shirt on and all! Once I arrived at St. Joseph's Hospital they had to get me a wheelchair since my contractions hurt so bad that I couldn't even walk. I was even crying. It wasn't that bad when I went in to have Makayla. They checked me in and couldn't believe that I was 6cm dilated. Yup, no false alarm here at all. The baby is coming today! We made the call to family and close friends........

Here I am all checked in and staying. Waiting so patiently for the Dr. to come give me my epidural. This is something I didn't get to have when I had Makayla since I was even further along with her arriving at 8cm dilated and too far along for an epidural. Once I got that epidural things were feeling soooooo much better. All the pain went away! Whew, since it is not a good feeling what so ever! You men are so lucky that you'll never understand!

After just a few hours of labor at 2:06pm Mylee Sienna arrives! Weighing in at exactly 8lbs. and 20.5 inches long. She is just absolutely amazing and looks just like her Big Sis Makayla who was such a good girl during all this.

I have to thank Dr. Linzey and my wonderful nurse for making this such a wonderful experience. They were both so supportive! It was even more great that they got me to have a VBAC since I had Makayla via C-section and was all ready to have Mylee that way also, so this was great and so much easier!

A family picture with our new little addition! We're just all soooo happy!
