OLIVIA MICHELLE came today! I know I know what am I doing blogging??! But I just ate and now I'm riding high on her arrival :) She came out at 4:03pm. 6lbs. 12oz. And 19 inches long.
Her labor didn't last very long at all. At 11:30am I was 4cm dialated and at 2pm I was 9. My doctor gave the go ahead to start pushing and we started to around 3:15pm and she was out within the hour! Since my parents couldn't get here in time Shann and Samantha, along with Alex, were in the delivery room with me. Want to know if someone is truly your friend.. they'll be there helping you hold your legs during labor! Even I couldn't believe it!

The epidural was definitely worth it. All I can say is before it PAIN PAIN PAIN. I could barely think, let alone talk to anyone about what was going on. Alex was fantastic through that part and through the whole thing. Even surprising me with pink roses around 1pm :)

She came out with lots of long hair just like we thought she would.. only thing is it's a whole lot lighter than I though it would be! Must be from her Daddy and my Daddy. Her eyelashes and her eyebrows are blonde! Me with a blonde baby??! :) But I still think she looks a little bit Chinese. Okay, I'm tired now. More soon. XOXO
