SHE"S HERE!!!

Reece Fisher was born yesterday afternoon at 05:14 PM weighing 7 pounds 3 ounces and measuring 18 1/2 inches long. She's so beautiful with long dark hair. Still not quite sure where that came from for the fact that Nick and I were bald until at least age 1 but we're so happy. The labor went surprisingly well. Went up yesterday morning around 8:30 and was at a almost a 5. 9 hours later she arrived all safe and healthy. For a while they were having some trouble reading my contractions so they had to put an internal monitor on her scalp to read them better. After about a hour later the decision was made that pitocin was needed to help my contractions. I was thinking labor alright, I can handle this, I don't need an epidural. I told Nick to go grab something to eat, I was fine. So he did. Then they started the pitocin and everything changed. I had the most terrible back labor. It was the most pain I think I've ever experienced. I text Nick telling him to hurry back, I needed an epidural now and needed him there. Apparently I wasn't the only woman on the floor who thought that because the anesthesiologist was in demand and I was 3rd in line. So sad but good because that gave nick some time to get back. The next hour was somewhat of a blurr. I just remember asking for some IV pain meds to hold be off until I could get my epidural. Being allergic to morphine and codeine my options were limited but i was giben fentanyl, which I'm not a fan off. My head was spinning, but at least my pain was decreased. Finally nick got there and not a moment too soon. After receiving my epidural it went pretty quick and smooth. Went from a 6 to an 8 to complete in 2 hours. And after some wonderul pushing on my part :) She came. Nick was so sweet and such a comfort! It's so crazy to look at her and have her be ours. Still hasn't quite registered yet :) Here are some pictures to enjoy. She keeps changing so much it's crazy so I'll try and keep updated with pics. Thanks for everyone's endless support and love!!

Happy mother! (Crazy to say :))
Proud father :) Nick has been so good with her and she just loves him so much! She instantly stops crying when he holds her or is near. Daddy's girl :)
