Bella Lauren Palmer

I am so happy to announce the birth of my first baby girl. I know she is already a month old and this post is over due but all I do is hold her and I never take the time to do anything else. (infact she is sitting on my lap as I type) She weighed 7lbs 11 oz and was 19.25 in long. She has brought so much joy into my life. I am so grateful for her everyday. Her big brothers love her just as much!

Bella's birth story- I went into the doctor for a regular appt. and the doctor stripped my membranes and told me he hoped I would go into labor that night but to me that was far off becuase I have had my membranes striped with every baby and nothing has ever happened. When I got home within 2 hours I started contracting, nothing to regular but for sure a lot, by 5 pm they turned in to every 8 min, by 8pm they were every 5 min. We decided to go to the hospital at 1 am and sure enough I was in labor. At 4 am they asked to give me the epidural and I decided to wait a bit on it so by 8am I had it and 4 hours later Bella was born. When I was at a 10 they asked how long it takes me to push my babies out and I told them about 2 hours so when I only pushed through 3 contractions and she was born I was in shock. I guess after her big brothers she just slid right out. lol. It was the easiest delievery I have had. She was perfect in everyway, the first thing I did of course was checked to make sure I didn't see a weiner. lol.

I can't wait for all the fun Bella and I are going to have together.
