Hattie Catherine has arrived!!

I had to go to the doctor at 8:00 Monday morning (JUNE 22nd) for an ultrasound to check my fluid level again. They were too low so Dr. Nelson said we are going to have a baby today. Wow...I wasn't expecting that even though I had all my stuff packed and with me just in case. So she sends me to the hospital to get checked in and monitored and she would come after clinic which usually run several hours behind. Since I had my bags and I didn't really have anything else to do I went on to the hospital where they put me in a room that I stayed for the next 6 hours...yeah I know. Finally around 4:00 the nurse said Dr. Nelson was headed over...I got really nervous for some reason but Bryan was right there by my side telling me everything would be fine. So at 4:15 they took me back and prepped me for survery. Then they brought Bryan in and then Dr. Nelson came in and they got started. Even though I had been through it before I was still nervous and scared but everything went great and Bryan was such a wonderful husband holding my hand.

She was born at 5:02 p.m. weighting 5 lbs and 14 oz and she was 19 inches long. She was early of course..I was 37 weeks and 3 days but she was perfectly healthy. We were truly blessed!

Even though we have been in this hospital room for 3 days we have really enjoyed the time with her....she is such a joy. Her daddy has been great...of course she looks just like him!!

Here are a few pics...I will put up more when I get home.
