Aubri Marie is here!!!

Aubri Marie joined our family on July 2, 2010! She was born at 7:52 p.m. and was 8 lbs 15 oz, 21 1/2 inches long. I went into labor at 3:30 a.m. we went to the hospital at 5 and I was dialated to a 4 and was 90 % effaced, I then learned that Dr. Gatherum was out of town for the 4th and so Dr. Allen would be delivering Aubri. I was not so sure at first he seemed really young like he had just finished his schooling! But he was great he stood by myside the whole time and was really friendly and made sure I knew what was going on. He broke my water at around 7, I didn't get my epidural until around 10 or 11 I can't remember for sure. I had Bryce my mom, my sister, and my mother-in-law in the room with me, we were laughing and giggling the whole time! The belt that tells when your contractions are coming was not working so I was guessing when they were but by the time it was time to push I had completely numbed my entire lower half and could no longer tell when they were contractions and when to push so I was guessing. I pushed for 2 hours and was bout ready to die, thats when the dr checked and decided that I was going to have to have a c-section, Aubri was at the top of the birth canal and had not budged the entire time I was pushing. Bryce got all dressed up in his protective clothing, and they hauled us off. I had my epidural but had stopped pushing the button at like 5:30 because I couldn't feel the contractions, so when they started cutting my stomach I could feel it they said just pressure right? no I can feel you poking and slicing they said 2 mins and she will be out after 2 mins she was not out so they put me under with anesthia and asked Bryce to leave. Bryce waited in the nursery and was the first to see our little bundle of joy! They allowed the grandmas to come back while they cleaned her up and weighed her and such. meanwhile I was pushed to my room where I didn't wake up til around 9:30, Bryce showed Aubri off through the nursery window to our families! I finally got to see my daughter at 9:30, but had so many drugs in my system and this vaseline stuff on my eyes that I really couldn't see her Bryce put her in my arms while the grandparents took pictures then my mom took her and put her literally 2 inches away from my face so I could see her! What an amazing thing I loved her so much in just that instant it was incredible!! We had to stay at the hospital until Monday afternoon, I did ok, Bryce really missed our bed!
