Our sweet Lillie decided to make her debut on Monday, August 30th! My actual due date was August 25th and she was just not ready!! My doctor scheduled me for an induction for Monday morning at 5:30a.m.!! I got up that morning with mixed emotions! I was so excited to meet our little girl but also nervous to be induced since I came on my own with Gracie. I really didn't know what to expect. I had such a good delivery with Gracie and was rather quick that I feared I would be in labor for a long time and it might not go as smoothly! Boy, I was wrong! We left the house at 5:00a.m. and got to the hospital ready to go. We had to do paperwork and get set up and they started the medicine for the induction at around 6:30. Soon after they had started they checked me and I was already 4 cm. dilated! Soon after the pain began. They called for my epidural and it could not come fast enough!! I was in alot of pain and don't know how woman have natural births~WOW! They got the epidural in but it did not take on one side. I told Craig I didn't know if I could do this and he said you have no choice~ HA HA! They gave me more epidural medicine and that didn't work then they tried to give me another pain medicine and nothing helped so my dr. just said we would start pushing. I am so glad I did because I only had to push a few times and she was here! I was only in labor for 3 1/2 hours from start to finish! Praise the Lord for that since the epidural didn't take completely! God is so good and He is always in control and I have learned that more than ever with Lillie's pregnancy!
Lillie is just our perfect angel! She has a head full of dark hair (much more than Gracie) and is just perfect in every way! She is eating well and sleeping so good! She is so layed back and easy going! She loves Gracie and Gracie adores her! I have alot of sister pictures I hope to post soon! We have been blessed with both of our families being able to be here when Lillie was born and sweet friends who have already been able to visit! My mom has been here this week and my dad came this weekend! Craig's parents come tomorrow and his mom will stay a few days as well! We are so thankful for all the prayers, phone calls, texts and visits during this special time! We are loving life with both our precious girls!
