Baby's First Birthday

I went to the hospital at 8:30am on the Friday. My doctor broke my water right away. Nothing happened. So at 11:30am I said "ok lets start some oxytocin cause this is really not happening "LOL So at noon they started a drip. This isn't the way I had wanted things to go, but in the moment I ended up changing my mind. I labored on the ball the whole time. But we couldn't keep track of the baby's heart beat since I was refusing to change positions. So they had to put a scalp monitor on. So when I got on the bed for the doctor to do that. It was a matter of mins and I was pushing.At 1:23pm We had a BABY!!!

It has been such a wonderful year watching her grow. She is loved very much.

On Sunday we celebrated with family. It was lots of fun.

Once everyone went home we jumped in the truck and went bowling. The kids love bowling and it is so much fun.
