Brentley Rae is here!

Hey, I just wanted to let you know Brentley Rae is here!!! I will post some pictures after we get home. So here's the story. I went to the dr on Friday and he convinced me "There is NO WAY you will go into labor while I'm on vacation next week." As I mentioned before, we were scheduled on the 25th for a C-Section because he thought I couldn't have a normal delivery. I really wanted to try but after our talk on Friday, I was ok with the section.


I'm up all night Friday because I can't sleep. My stomach was cramping but no big deal. I got up with Paul at 5:30 and I read while he leaves for work. My water breaks as I'm sitting in the bed reading. So I call my doctor and he said to go ahead and take a shower but I can take my time then head on in. Well I could have really taken my time. We get to the hospital about 7:30 am. My parents and Paul's parents meet us there. My parents have the bright idea to bring doughnuts for everyone, except the patient can't have anything. I go through the process of the triage then they pretty much give me my epidural first thing. I dilate very slow all day. Long story short the labor was a total of 14 hours with 1 1/2 hours of heavy pushing.

Brentley Rae weighs 7.7 and was 20.5 inches long. We are doing great. We hope to be home sometime on Monday. I will post pictures then.
