Announcing the newest addition to our family... Brynlee Elaine White!
Brynlee joined our family Wednesday morning after an all night "work out"!
I went into labor around 7:00pm Tuesday night-then around 1:30 am Chris finally made me go to the Hospital! He was the opposite of calm- he was nervous, excited, and ready to go- LOL!!
Once we reached the hospital I was having consistent contraction about 3 minutes apart, this lasted until 6:00 am when I finally decided to the get an epidural. I was plaining on going natural-but with the slow progression, the possibility of having to get put on pit to help move things along, and being completely exhausted I gave in....
After receiving the epideral Chris and I were able to get a little bit of rest! My epidural started wearing off around 10:30 am- they checked me around 11:00 am and I was at an 10! By this point I was really feeling the contraction-but all we could do was push!
All together I only pushed for a half hour-mid way though we had to pause and wait for our doctor to get the AF hospital! Chris was really worried the Dr. wasn't going to make it-but he did and things were just fine!
Our family was waiting in the waiting room-so after she was born they were all able to come in and welcome her to family! It was so wonderful to have them all their so soon after she was born!
Brynlee had a little bit of struggle after she was born- she was unable to keep her body temp up because her glucose level were so low. She was admited to the level 2 nursery (a small version of nicu). She was hooked up to all sorts of monitors, gadgets, and IV's. It was hard not to have her in the room with us-but we knew she was getting the extra help she needed!
Friday afternoon came and I was discharged from the hospital- we were hoping Brynlee would be too-but we had to wait for some final test result's. Around 3:30 we got the go ahead! Brynlee had passes all the test and was ready to go home! What a great anniversary present that was for us! (Friday was our 2 year wedding anniversary).
We are so grateful for the countless prayer in Brynlee's behave, and for the love, support and kindness from our family and friends! We are grateful for the blessing of the gospel in our lives and the peace that it truly brings! We are very grateful for a sweet little girl and for the joy she has already brought to our home!
