Our sweet baby Addie is finally here! On Friday night around 10:30 pm I was watching the news and suddenly had a horrible pain and there was no mistaking it for false, it was the real thing. Five minutes later I had another horrible contraction and then another five minutes after that. Then my water broke...that was quite the experience. I couldn't believe how quick I was suddenly in labor, I always thought it would be a long process of timing contractions and wondering if it really was time to go to the hospital etc. but we knew it was time to go. We got to the hospital at about 10:45 pm and I was dilated to a 5 plus. I begged for the epidural immediately...so grateful for modern medicine! About 2 hours later I was dilated to a 10 (again wasn't expecting it to go so quickly), did an hour of rest and descend, and about 45 minutes of pushing and she was here. My labor was only four hours I was seriously overwhelmed at how quickly the whole thing went, but I didn't mind one bit. I made the mistake of thinking I could handle having them put her directly on me after she came out, but me having the weak stomach that I do, suddenly felt like I was going to throw up and had them immediately move the baby right before I threw up like four times, luckily it didn't get on her! They cleaned her off and Nephi held her for a long time because I had horrible labor shakes that I could not control...not fun. Finally I was able to cuddle my beautiful baby...she is just perfect!
She came out sunny side up and had a huge cone head, luckily it went away quickly


Aunt Crystal, we gave Addie her middle name

Nice and snug. She insists on being swaddled at all times and lets you know it! Seriously this girl comes out of her swaddle for any reason and she screams...can you say drama queen!
Going Home
First (sponge) bath and she absolutely hated it until we wrapped her up and washed her hair in the sink
She loved being snuggled after her bath
Love this pic
