May 9 came early for us. I woke up at 4am to call
our hospital to make sure they would be ready for me to check-in at 7am. Sure
enough everything was still a Go! So David and I ate breakfast, made sure
everything was packed, and I did some last minute clean up around the house. I
was so excited to get to the hospital, I was beyond ready to meet our precious
little girl!
Now only our family, close friends, and small group
knew that we were going into the hospital that morning for me to be
induced! We decided once we were all settled in and things were started we
would make the official social media announcement!
By 8am we were all settled in and the meds were flowing, so we were getting ready to be here for the long hall. David was teaching me about the locks there were on the doors, yep you know your married to a locksmith when they are teaching you about locks! Don't worry eventually my lesson was over, we attempted reading, a movie, and finally realized that the radio was the key for us!
At 10:30 I got my epidural and within an hour my
Dr. J came in to break my water (Fun Fact: He missed delivery Tensley by an
hour and half, so he also wanted to deliver Everley if possible!). My bestie
Katelyn came by for a quick visit, I think she was hoping Everley would have
appeared right then. However no luck for Auntee KK. At 1:50 Dr. J came back in
after I had told my nurse that I felt like I was ready to push. Sure
enough he said we were all ready to go! Wahoo, Come on Baby Girl!
By 2:15 we started the delivery process, about 2
hours later (we took a 45 minute break to relax and regroup) our sweet Everley
arrived at 4:44pm! She is absolutely beautiful and just so perfect! She has
easily transition into our family and we have easily moved into being
family of 4. Honestly I barely remember what life was like without our sweet
girl.
Now our hospital encourages Kangaroo Care, so for
the first hour she and I were totally skin to skin (yep David didn't get to
hold her until almost 2 hours later). It was so nice to just snuggle and
hold her, I enjoyed every minute of it. I know David enjoyed going out to pick
up dinner too.
Once Kangaroo Care was over, she got weighted and her bath! Our girl
weighed 7 lbs 6.2 ounces and 19.5 inches long! Our smallest baby, but oh
how we loved having a true newborn!

"Sissy, I'm your big sister! I'm going to love you forever" (A daily reminder to Everley. OH yes my mom heart burst at this as well!) |
She was made to be a big sister! I love my girls. |
David and his favorite girls! |
Can you tell which one is which?
