Welcome to the World Little Evelyn Joy!
Yay, we have a girl! We were so excited for this little girl to enter the world and it seems she was as well. I was due on September 8th, but I was done, done with the labor pains, done with the indigestion, done with the lack of energy. So I decided to get induced on Friday the 5th. The night before I confirmed with Sara that she was okay to watch the boys, got all our bags packed and ready to go. I woke up at 3:45 a.m. to call the hospital and make sure there was room, they were busy but said eat breakfast, go back to sleep (yeah, right!), and come in at 7:30. Around 5:00 a.m. I started having labor pains, I have had labor pains before but this time it was different. I started timing them, they started at 10 minutes apart, then quickly went to 7 min. We waited until 6:30, but decided it was close enough might as well get to the hospital. Got the boys up and headed to drop them off at Sara's. I was still okay to walk and I felt like the contractions were slowing down so we walked from the parking lot to the hospital, and got checked in. On the long walk to Labor and Delivery, I did have two contractions but I was able to walk them out.
Here is the only pregnancy belly pic I took the whole pregnancy, so enjoy.
After getting in my room things went slow, Nurse Pam asked me all the normal questions, Dr Adam Nickel came in and told me the plan, see if I progress at all and break water around noon. After being in labor for 5 hours I finally got the epidural and life was good! The nurse checked me after the epidural, I was at 5 cm so they decided she decided on holding out on the pitocin, which is awesome because I really hate that stuff. Around 12:30, Adam came and broke my water, I should have told him to stick around because I go very fast, but he hadn't had lunch yet. 15 minutes later, Nurse Pam checked me and I was at 8, so she paged Adam. 10 minutes later I started feeling the need to push, I was at 10 cm. It was time! I kept my legs together just waiting on Adam, as soon as he got there I was ready, put on my headphones and started pushing. One push they saw her head, second her head was almost out and third push she was out! She came out with the cord wrapped around her torso and arm, but she is great. Less then 5 minutes or 2 songs and she was out!
Hello Beautiful!
So happy you are her little girl

Baby Evie
We were so excited for the boys to meet their little sister, Jason went to get Kyler from school and Logan from Jill's. And I got to spend some alone time with my little girl.
First time meeting their little sister
It took Kyler some time to warm up to Evie, but for Logan is it was love at first sight
We are so excited to have our little Evie into our family. Our little family of 4 is now a family of 5. The boys love her so much except when she cries...
Thank you to Sara Leavitt for taking the boys and Jill Johnson for taking Ky to school and watching Logan. Also for the visits by Sara, Jill, and Elizabeth...I truly have the best friends!
And thanks for reading.
