Klaire Riley Alma has arrived!!!!




Klaire made her grand appearance today at 8:03 pm weighing in at 8 pounds, 7 ounces (She took the smallest baby title away from Blake who was not impressed that he lost his title.) and she's 21 inches long. She's absolutely adorable. Here's a quick timeline of all that happened.
5:30- 7:30 am - woke up with occasional contractions, told Eric that the baby was coming today. He didn't believe me and rolled back over and fell asleep.

After 7:30 contractions pretty much stopped with the occasional one through out the day. Man, I was bummed.

3:30 pm - left the house to go see Terani and her new baby boy. We stopped at Walmart first and did a little shopping. Started having contractions again.

4:30ish?? - Got to Terani's where I was still having contractions about every 10 minutes. Saw Jayden, and man, is he adorable!!!!!

after 5:00 - left Terani's and went home. Contractions were about 5-10 minutes apart now.

6:00ish - called the doctor and he suggested going to the hospital since I wasn't feeling a lot of movement from Klaire.

6:15ish - dropped the kids off at the Sill's house. Listened to Eric say over and over again that we were just going to get sent home, so this was pointless. But still had contractions every 5 minutes.

6:30ish - got into the hospital and checked in, I mentioned to the nurse that this was my sixth child and that I felt the need to push, and she responded with a BEEP word and told me to get a gown on. She checked me and shocked us all by telling us that I was 7 cm dilated.
7:00ish got my epidural - yay!!!
7:30ish - doctor got there and turned the baby around. She was face up.

8:03 Baby Klaire arrived, and Eric and I still are sitting in an amazed and happy kind of shock!
