She is Here!!

Caroline Grace Prather is here!!

6:00 AM
4lb 13 oz
17.5 inches
Honestly Caroline and I were both surprised that she came early Sunday morning.

I had to go do non-stress test on Tuesday {which we both pasted!} Then one on Friday {Which she did not} So we met with the head doctor to see what the next step would be. He talked to us about our options. Chris was the rock as I cried my eyes out. Dr Yoemen said we could induce today(Friday) or take the test again tomorrow and see if the baby could pass.

We decided to wait. Chris and I both thought we would take the test Saturday morning and then go get get a Rudy's breakfast burrito. Wrong!
After failing the test they started the pitocin at 10:00 am Saturday morning.
It progressed VERY slowly until I got the epidual at 10:00pm.
then:
5 popsicles
One movie {Step Brothers}
One TV Show thanks to Hulu {Modern Family}
A whole pack of spearmint gum
2 small naps
10 minutes of pushes
&
She was here!!


First bath by her dad

Besides being bite size she is very healthy. She came out screaming and with that left hand in her face.

We are so glad to meet her! Chris and I prayed for her for so long and love her very much!!
