Meet A!!

On January 17th I had my weekly appointment. My doctor checked me and said I was almost at a 4!  She told me to expect the baby within the next few days!!  So... fast forward about an hour and a half and I was lying on the couch and my water broke!  I was so shocked I didn't know what to do.  Luckily, Brent had made it home about 20 minutes before so we loaded up the car.  Almost instantly, the hard contractions started. Oh MY... we couldn't get to the hospital fast enough.  By the time we made it, I was already at 6 cm. and by the time I got to a room, I was at 7 cm.  I was more than ready for my epidural.  Finally I got it and I was much happier!  Soon, my family arrived and we were ready to meet "A".  At about 11 p.m., I started pushing and pushed for an hour and half.  By that time, my epidural had worn off and I could feel almost everything!  On January 18th at 12:52 a.m. our sweet girl was born.  She was 6 lbs. 14 oz. and 20 inches long and extremely PRECIOUS!!  It was the most amazing experience ever!!  I wouldn't have changed anything.  AND... I am pretty sure I have the best husband ever, because he was wonderful the entire time.  I was lucky to have my mom, sister and mother-in-law in the room with me and Brent.  Also, Amber Lanning was in there capturing this experience for me!  I am so thankful I had her take pictures, so I can remember the entire experience. We were able to go home on January 19th and we have been enjoying every minute of it since. I am soooo in love with her!  So... here she is!!!!

Meet Lindsay

Whitney your little girl is so beautiful! I was wondering if you had her yet. Are you keeping her name hush or can I ask what her name is? :) I hope you are enjoying your time home with her. Will you go back for this school year or just take off the rest?
I am feeling good or as good as you can at 37 weeks pregnant and working! I am living in Flippin and teaching Kindergarten in Mtn.Home. I taught K 5 years at Flippin and this is my 2nd year at MH. I'm loving it. I only have 2 more weeks left before we meet Bennett. We are scheduled for induction on February 27th unless he decides to come earlier. We shall see!

Jill

Hey girl! I was going to tell you that you're one step ahead of me...I've never even blogged from my phone so I'm not sure if pics can be added that way or not. :(

Jen showed me a recent pic of AK....she has changed so much but still as cute as ever! :) Hope y'all are doing well.
