Brightyn Elise Welling

Introducing Miss Brightyn Elise Welling!!! My labor story was really quick and simple this time around! Baby number 2 is cake! On August 7th we went in at 7 a.m. for my induction.  I had a nurse that was in training so the questions and the paper signing at the beginning that should only take about 30 min took about an hour and half because she kept messing up but she was so sweet! It was about 9 o'clock when they started my IV and started the pitocin.  I felt very mild contractions and the nurse came in to ask me if I wanted my epidural now (9:30) or in about and hour and half when the Dr. came out of a c-section.  I decided to get it later because I wanted painful contractions so I wasn't so nervous about the epidural.  Well the nurse came in one last time and checked me and I was at a 3 and said are you sure you want to wait for that epidural.  Robby said to just get it and so I agreed to just get it.  I am so THANKFUL I did or else I would have had this baby natural probably.  At 11 the nurse came into check me and I was at a 4. At 12 the nurse came in to check me at I was at a 8..moving right along.  At 12:15 the nurse came back in to adjust the heart monitors because it was not reading, so she decided to have me move side and when I went to move she was said "you ready to have a baby because she is right here."  Just then my Dr. just happened to walk in to check on me and so they got everything ready and with 1 push this little princess came into the world at 12:23! 

Life with 2 kids has been a bit of an adjustment for all of us but we are chugging right along. Wes has been doing pretty good just a little more emotional about things..He has started to cuddle me again and I don't mind that at all.  He loves his sister and when she cries he says "Mom, kisses" and will give her kisses on the head.  He does like to test his limits when I am holding her because he knows I am occupied but he is adjusting better than I thought.  We are a happy family of 4!!!
