Introducing Keira Renee Baughman

She is FINALLY here! :)

Miss Keira  Renee Baughman arrived Tuesday morning October 11, 2011.

We were scheduled for an induction on Monday October 10th, 2011 at 7 am. Brandon and my mom came with me. I didn't get started until around 8 am. I had no idea what being induced was all about. I wasn't dilating passed 1 1/2. So, my doctor broke my water. Then I got an epidural. (which was the most traumatic part of the whole thing) Brandon was such a wonderful help in keeping me calm. I am so lucky to have him! The epidural started to wear off so they had to give me more. Then I had to lay on my right side because the medicine wanted to stay on the left side. Once, I dilated passed 6 cm. It seemed to go really fast! Before I knew it, it was time to push. I think we pushed 1 hour and a half and tada she met the world.

We stayed in the hospital until Thursday morning. Brandon stayed home with me the whole week.Which was a huge help in getting adjusted.

Everything is going so WELL! We love being new parents! :)

Almost 39 weeks....

As most of you know I have been put on bed rest. :( I am going on the tail end of 2 weeks now. It is super boring! I am on bed rest because of constant high blood pressure and swelling in my hands and feet. We had an ultrasound to check on the baby this past Monday. Everything looked good with our little one. The tech check to make sure there was no cord around the neck. :) We didn't get pictures of the little bean because it is so squished in there. We did get to see the eye move around. That was COOL! I was only .5 cm dilated. I am hoping that means I will start moving along in this process.

This last weekend Jim and Lori came up to visit. Lori made us a TON of food that we could freeze. I think we have enough food to last at least a month. I tried to help as much as I could. Jim and Brandon did a few things around the house that needed to get done too. We are so LUCKY to have wonderful people in our lives! Thanks so much!!! We love you so much!

Other than that. Brandon and I have just been hanging out waiting..... Hopeful the next time I blog I will have had this wonderful BABY!!

Until next time...
