Our sweet Lily!

Our sweet little Lily decided to come 3 weeks early. We thought she might be coming a little early but were still quite surprised. At my doctor's appointment on the 28th the doctor was concered about my blood pressure which had started going up the week before. I ended up having non-stress tests and blood pressure tests on the 28th and 29th and got put on bed rest. We figured that we would get induced within the week. Halloween night I kept having contractions and had a difficult time sleeping but the contractions stopped. Sunday(Nov 1st) Mark and I were just getting up and my water broke. We arrived at the hospital around 9 am and were admitted within the hour. My friend Bryan was working and came and gave me my epidural while I was at a 3. I was on medicine for my blood pressure-which also can stop contractions and medicine to keep the contractions going. The labor went really smooth, except for when my blood pressure when down to 87 over 60. That got quickly corrected. Lorraine and Sydney came to visit us during the day, hoping to see the baby and Stacy came that night and hung out until the baby arrived. Around 9 pm I started pushing, taking a break for the doctor to arrive- and at 1013 pm Lily Collette arrived showing off her lungs with a great scream from the start. I was so tired but so happy to see my sweet baby girl! Weighing in at 6"7 and measuring 19 inches long.
Stacy came to see Lily right after she was delievered
