The Birth of Bryn

Bryn is finally here! She is actually a week old today. Last Wednesday, Leap Day, she made her arrival. I was due on March 1st, so she was 1 day early. The birth of Taylor and the birth of Bryn were completely different experiences. I thought I knew how it would go this time and boy was I wrong. I woke up Wednesday morning and my water broke, but I wasn't sure that's what it was. I called labor and delivery and they said I better come in and make sure. So, that's what we did. We arrived at the hospital around 8:45 in the morning and Baby Bryn arrived at 3:14. It was pretty quick and painless. Lucky for me, I was contracting when I got there, but didn't feel it yet. They told me they had to give me a little pitocin to augment my labor since my water had already broke. They told me I could have the epidural any time I wanted. So, as soon as the contractions were 2 minutes apart and I was really afraid of the pain getting bad, I got the epidural.

Here we are once we realized it was baby day for sure.

It all happened so fast! They had told me they thought maybe by dinner time I would deliver, but she was quick.

So much love.

A very proud big sister. She couldn't wait any longer for the baby to get here!

Bryn is a very content, calm baby. She sleeps all the time and is so sweet. I find myself holding her and staring at her every day. I guess I know how quickly this stage goes and I really want to take it all in.
