She's Here!!!

Meet our sweet little Joslyn Alea:



Born on Monday January 4 at 3:09 p.m.

Weighing 7 lbs 7 oz
20 inches long

I went to my Dr appointment and the Dr asked me what I was doing that day. I told him that I would like to go to the hospital and have this baby. He said let me make a phone call. He came back and said head on over! So I called Nate and he had his patients rescheduled.

They started the pitocin at 11:45 and told me that the anesthesiologist would be there by 12:30 to give the epidural Dr came in at 12:15 and broke my water. 12:30 came and went...no epidural. To make a long story short, the anestheiologist was stuck in a surgery and I think I finally got the epidural at 2:00. I say "I think" because I got a shot of pain meds through the IV and it made me a little loopy. Once I finally got the epidural things went great. Just before 3 the nurse called the Dr and he came a runnin. Pushed through 2 contractions and she was here! She is my smallest baby so recovery has been great! Here are a few fun pics of her:

With dad.
