Our New Addition...

Bailey Jean Carlson

Born Friday, March 18, 2011

7 lbs. 20 Inches long

Bailey was born at 5:48 pm Friday evening.  She was due March 13th and we were told to anticipate an early arrival.  Well, after days of walking around Wal-Mart, Target, Costco and the Rec Center she still wouldn't come.  We had a false alarm early in the morning March 17th but after no progression we were sent home to wait.  We went to a doctor appointment that day and he was stumped as to why she still hadn't come.  The next morning our doctor sent us up to the hospital to do a non stress test to make sure that everything was alright. Everything was fine but since I was dialated to a 4 and scheduled to be induced on Sunday they admitted me that day.  I was admitted at 12:30, after 20 minutes of contractions got my epidural at 2:30 and she was born at 5:48.  It all went really fast, especially since Dave and I just watched Modern Family the whole time.  This whole experience was so awesome and my cute hubby had an "allergy attack" while she was born and had to go wipe his eyes... the doctor said that lots of men get "allergy attacks" in the delivery room.  Since it was such an easy delivery our doctor said he would deliver 10 more kids for me... yikes!  Maybe if we can get Bailey to sleep through the night we'll think about how many more we want.
