Sorry for the long post but stick with me!

sorry for all the pictures but with how cute she is...can you blame me?
So my last post was horrible and now i cant believe she is actually here.
On wednesday my dr ordered a stress test to make sure the baby was doing ok since i was overdue. within being on the monitors for 20 minutes they knew she needed to come that day. she was perfect but i was hugely swollen and my heart rate and blood pressure was way high. I was so excited! i was about to have a baby in a few hours!
I got admitted into the hospital and Dr.Nance decided that a C-section was the way to go to getting her out. I really didnt care as long as she got here. So i got my epidural and waited. They had a few emergency ones then it was my turn.
They came and got me and wheeled me in! they prepped me and it was time! I was SO numb i had no idea that they had even started. I had the best anesthisiologist ever! Justin was able to watch the whole thing happen and even got really cool pics.
Once they got the point to take her out she was stuck! she did not want to come out! The other doctor was bascially laying on my belly to push her out, and wow i couldnt breath! with a lot of tugging and pulling she was born! She pooped in the fluid so they had to rush to get her suctioned out but not before i saw her, and she had lots of beautiful hair and i just bawled! I had my baby girl here! They evaluated her and she didnt breath any maconimum in and was perfect as ever. They brought her to me and i got to finally see what i had been carrying around and feeling for the last 9 months.
Since i had to stay in recovery for about an hour and half after she was born i couldnt hold her until then. but wow was she worth the wait!
Both me and baby are doing really good. Except for the fact that i had my belly cut open! I am on cloud 9 with being a mom and seeing how beautiful my baby is. And to say the least we are OBSESSED with her. Justin is infatuated with her and she is already our little princess!!
