It was Wednesday, April 17th when we went in to the hospital. I was having contraction after contraction and although we were all praying you would be completely healthy at five weeks no one could be sure. I was given morphine, four shots of Tributiline and my goodness you were determined. All of that and all it did was space the contractions out a bit so I could rest here and there. By Thursday, April 18th our Doctor (Dr. Keller) decided to call a specialist in Grand Junction to get his opinion. He felt that if after everything they had given me and my contractions had still continued it would be to help with delivery. He said there must be a reason that I continued to contract, and that at some point it would put too much stress on us both. Of course too much stress on either of us could have resulted in an emergency c-section and no one wanted that! So they gave me some antibiotics that I normally would of been given at 37 weeks and then broke my water around 5pm.
I was given petosin to help things along. Around 5 centimeters we called Grandma Sherri and your big sister Kiera. Your aunt Kelsi was already there since she came right after her classes, she braided my hair and got me ready for your big debut...Grandma Sherri and Kiera got there just in time. I went from 5 centimeters to 10 in a very short time so everyone was in a hurry. We had to wait on Doctor Wilson (your pediatrician) to drive from his home before I could start pushing. He almost didn't make it! Dr. Wilson walked in at about 11:56pm and you my beautiful princess were born April 19th at 12:01am...
Because you were five weeks early I did not get to hold you right away as the Doctors had to confirm you were healthy. You stayed in my eye view for about 20 minutes and then you came to your mommy. You were so calm, your eyes were wide open, and it was as if you were listening to every word. Your daddy and I love you so much! Of course so do your sisters! Your big sister Kiera was able to watch your birth and she was so amazed at it all. As soon as you arrived into the world your sister said, "She is Beautiful!" She stayed by your side until they gave you to me and she was so happy you were finally here.
Your daddy...well what can I say beautiful...he is the greatest man in the whole world. As you grow you will come to see just how amazing he is. The most important thing in his life are his girls. All four of you are so blessed... there is no better daddy out there. He will teach you so many things, and what he can't teach you I will. I love you my beautiful daughter and I will always be here for you. I am so blessed to have you in my life. You and your sisters are my entire world. I now have four amazingly beautiful daughters that I will continue to love more than life itself. Welcome little girl to the most loving family in the world!
