I love her wrinkles :)
Well, I have had a few people ask about her birth and how everything went :) So here goes! I had been put on bed rest due to the fact that she was trying to come to early, and I was dilating super fast. Every week we went in starting at about 34 weeks because I was dilated to a 2, and then I dilated a centimeter each week up until 36 weeks, I was dilated to a 5, almost 6 for about a week and a half. We finally made it to a point where my doctor decided it wasn't safe for me to be out and about, especially since we live about 30 minutes from our hospital. She called us the night before our check up and said to pack a bag because if everything looked good, we would be getting induced. We went in and she hooked me up to the Nsat machine for about an hour, and we talked about what we wanted to do. We decided to go ahead and induce so we went over the hospital and got checked in. We went over to the hospital at about 10 am. I got set up on the bed with the monitors and they got my IV going with some fluids. About 11:30, they came in and broke my water, started the pitocin drip, and then I got the epidural. Love the epidural, lol. I didn't have it at the end of my delivery with jade, and was miserable. My contractions got really bad, and we decided to do a practice push to see if she was ready, but she wasnt quite yet. We waited until about 12:50 thinking we could do another push, but my doctor said, no wait, don't push, she is right there. Well, they got all dressed, and four pushes later, Rilegh was born. At exactly 1:06 pm :) She was my shortest baby, but weighed in between Kirra and Jade. She was 6 pounds 12 ounces, 18.25 inches long. Super super easy labor and delivery, and even after wasn't so bad. The hospital we went to is the only hospital in Montana that is Baby Friendly, which is pretty nice. I was so nervous about delivering here because I didn't think it would be anything like my experience in Gunnison, but I have to say it was just as good, if not better than my deliveries in Utah :) I have to say I prefered the food here! Lol, I had a menu to choose from, and they were so good about bringing food for chris. They even brought food for the girls when they were visiting. Honestly the worst part of it all was staying in the hospital overnight. I missed my girls, and didn't sleep at all.
Rileigh is doing amazing, sleeping pretty dang good already. She eats one last time at about midnight, sleeps tell five, eats then sleeps again until eight. We have been super blessed in all our children, and I would not change one single thing! I love my kids more than anything :)
