Taylor was born on May 12, 2010 at 3:23 p.m. She was 7 lbs. 13 oz. and 20.5 inches long. I went in on Tuesday night at 11:00 p.m. They started me on the "pit". I am not proud, so I requested drugs so that I could sleep through labor. It was like hanging on to a merry go round! I was able to get through that a lot easier than contractions though! :) They broke my water at around 11:00 a.m. and then I had her at 3:23 p.m. I pushed for about 40 min. which was a "breeze"(not easy...I will never figure out how to really push :)haha) compared to 3 hours with Gracie! I also went with the epidural, but this time it only numbed my right side! It was kind of nice being able to feel the contractions a little bit so I knew when to push. The right side was SO HEAVY though! I was sure that if my right leg fell off the bed it would take me with it! The hospital also brought it's "A" game for food this time! I don't want to touch meat after having a baby... I was so excited when there was fruit...or maybe because I hadn't eaten for almost 24 hours! Poor Spence got to sleep on the most awful chairs! The doctor said I could stay another night, and I thought Spence's back won't last another night! :) I am sure everyone wants to know how Gracie is doing! She is adjusting really well considering she is used to our world revolving around her! I think she just gets cabin fever. We are used to doing something all of the time...and right now I am a little sore for activities! She loves to hold her and wishes she would be awake more often! Even though Spence wanted a boy he was one proud dad when she was born! He also loves to hold her! You forget what it is like to snuggle a newborn! She is a pretty good sleeper at night as well. I can get 4-6 hours out of her! I will take it! Well here are some pics of our new baby girl!
