ITS A GIRL!!

So yesterday at, i think, 7:23 PM, I gave birth to a very beautiful baby girl! She weighs 7lbs. and 12oz. and is 18 1/2 inches long, very short if I do say so myself. Exspecially considering that her dad was a twin and was early and that is how long he was. She is such a doll and I know that everyone has been waiting for the new post of pictures to see her so since I am up at 2:45 AM doing nothing I thought I would do my job. Be waiting for some more photos though because I dont have a ton on my camera and plus she looks different everytime I look at her. She was really swollen at first so everyone that got a photo of her right after doesn't even know what she looks like because she doesn't look anything like that picture anymore :)


oh and I think we are naming her Alexis Grace Whitaker. Brandon told me whatever I want and that is what I want and that is what everyone is calling her.... but I haven't filled out the birth certificate yet so if it changes I will let you know.


mom at the start of the day (hottie)


mom after one very great epidural (oh yes I had an epidural) I was having contractions 1 to 2 mins apart from 10:00 AM until 5:00 PM with no meds and I was still dialated to a 2 the whole stinking time and then I couldn't handle it anymore because the Pit was making them so stinking strong and then I had some other medicine to control pain which made me a fruitcake and I was falling asleep and in pain so I gave up and luckily I did because they think that is what finally dialated me :) because I was headed to a C- section
....and yes I was in the middle of pushing trying to change the channel on the tv in this picture. WAY TO GO epidural!! :)

Our baby right after she was born and her daddy is cutting her cord... and yes she is a little blue which was really freaking him out but the cord was around her neck so they had to just get that off and warm her up and she was all good :)
