Brynlee Paige, thank you for coming to the studio!  You are more beautiful than you could ever imagine..

In her words:

“I had always dreamed of having a baby girl, so when my husband and I found out I was expecting we were beyond excited.  Although, it was a bit of a surprise because she was conceived the first night of our honeymoon (not what we had planned, but we were still very excited).  When we found out it was a little girl, we knew things were meant to be, and I instantly couldn’t wait for her to arrive.

Going forward a long 40 weeks to my 40 week check up, my doctor said “not much longer”  He thought I would have her over the weekend.  One week and two days later, I had lots of contractions, but still no baby!  He decided to put in a balloon to help me dilate without medication adn if I didn’t go into labor overnight, he would induce me the next morning.  Almost as soon as I got home, my contractions were five minutes apart and extremely painful.  Back to the hospital we went; I was so ready.  The nurse hooked me up to check my contractions and said “yes, you’re having contractions but nothing strong enough to say that labor has set in.  They are so painful because of the balloon.  In extreme pain and not to mention disappointment, we left the hospital and headed home.  Later that night my contractions stopped completely, and at the time I was very happy they did.  

The next morning we headed into the hospital for induction.  My doctor broke my water at 7:30a.m.  and I was dilated to 3cm from the balloon.  He waited until 12:00pm to start the pitocin in hopes that I would start labor on my own.  Around 4:30pm I got the epidural.  I was still only 5cm dilated so my husband decided he would go get some food.  By the time he got back I was feeling a lot of pressure; the doctor checked me and I was dilated to 7cm.  Finally, things were moving along!  

An hour later I said to my nurse “I really feel like I could push”  She didn’t seem to be in any rush, but said she would check me.  When she got around to it she said “Oh yes, let’s have a baby!”  My doctor came in right away and I started to push.. what seemed like forever was actually only 25 minutes.  At 6:52 pm our beautiful, perfect Brynlee Paige was bron at 7lbs 14oz, as what I thought was the cutest baby I ever saw.  

They put her on my chest for about an hour for some bonding time before they weighed and checked her.  At that point my blood pressure started to drop and I felt very sick.  I was given oxygen.  I was mostly worried that I needed to feed my baby and couldn’t do so because I was too week.  After eating I was feeling so much better and able to take care of her.  

Even though she may have taken some extra time to come out, she was worth the wait.  I’m such a proud mommy and we love every minute I spend with her.  We feel so blessed to have a happy, healthy girl”
