Our First Family Picture ♥

It's been over a month since my last post...how horrible! My excuse....I birthed a child in that month...i think that's a pretty good excuse, and yes I know what they say about excuses!!!

April 19th Olivia Rochelle came into the world, and my life will never be the same. :)

Monday the 18th I went for my weekly OB check-up. I was discouraged to hear I was not dilated one teeny bit. After checking her planner my doctor asked me if I had any plans for the night. At 10 months pregnant, one can be pretty busy you know...club hopping and wild parties...so after i cleared my busy busy schedule I told her no plans. Then she asked, "well would you like to have a baby?" :)

As much as I didn't want to be induced at months 1-6, by month 10 I was ecstatic! She told me to eat my "final" meal and be at the hospital by 8. I called Tyler and he didn't believe me. Luckily I convinced him this call, unlike all the prank going into labor phone calls from before, was the real deal! (I guess that's what they mean by the boy who cried wolf) My final meal ended up being Braums since we ran out of time for a steak. Then we went to the hospital...and the rest is history!

The Lord really answered my prayers! The labor and delivery were easy and there were no complications! The nurse had me start pushing just to see where we were. After a push she called the doctor and told her no hurry but she could come after she finishes with her current patient. After two more pushes she called the doctor again and told her she needed to get there NOW! It really was that fast! At 10:10 I was dilated to a nine and by 10:44 Olivia was born! When Tyler saw all the hair on her head he started crying. Then of course I started crying and the nurse started crying. It was amazing. The moment the doctor laid Livi on my belly is something I will never forget. The feeling of being so in love with something the moment you lay eyes on it is unlike anything I have ever experienced!

She is absolutely amazing! She weighed 7 lbs and 14 oz. and was 22.5 in. long.
I know everyone says their babies are amazing, but I am convinced my baby is the most amazing baby in the whole entire history of babies! :)
