Proud Mommy with baby girl. She is absolutely perfect.
Daddy had to make sure you didn't have a tail or a 3rd nipple:). He also had to count her fingers and toes.
Me in Labor. What a beautiful picture. Or not at all.
It was early on September 1st, 2009. We were told to meet Dr. Tedesco at the hospital at 6:30 in the morning to be induced. I was very excited, but also very nervous. We get there and are told we needed to wait in the waiting room, because there was a problem. I figured they were really busy and were gonna have to send us home, which made me really upset. They were busy, but they didn't send us home. They just had to wait for a room to be cleaned. We got put into our room and Dr. Tedesco broke my water around 7:00am. I was still only dialated to a 2 when we got to the hospital. I was a 2 the last month of pregnancy. After about 2 hours of no real progress, they decided to give me pitocin. Once I got that it didn't take long for the contractions to start. I was having really bad back labor right off the back. They said because baby was facing the wrong way, so her spine was on mine. A few hours pass and they give me some Stadol, which just made me feel really weird. Couldn't keep my eyes open. That didn't last long. At about 2:00pm, I decided I wanted my epidural. I was only dialated to 3 at the time. I was so lucky to have Dr. Tedesco as the doctor, because he does his own epidurals and I didn't have to wait to get it. It was such a relief. The nurse checked me at around 6ish and said I was dialated to a 6. I was excited, but then Dr. Tedesco checked me and said I was only a 5. That was disappointing. They decided to start upping my pitocin. Every 20 to 30 minutes they would come in and up it. This is when I started to feel the contractions again. They gave me a little bit more of my epidural. At around 9:30pm, Dr. Tedesco came in and checked me again. I was just hoping to be at 6 or 7cm. Well I was at a 9. He said we would be pushing in about 30 minutes. I then got extremely nervous. Well, 10:00pm comes and we are ready to push. He left my epidural on, he said as long as I push well, then it could stay on, so I was bound and determined to push, even though I couldn't feel anything:). After about 30 minutes of pushing, our beautiful Baby Rylee was here. The funny thing was that the diamondback game was on, so in between contractions both Dr. Tedesco and Danny were watching the game. What the heck was that about. Well, back to Rylee, she was absolutely perfect. She weighed 7 pounds 9.6 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. Our visitors that came to see her that night were, Grandpa John, Grandma and Grandpa Key, Auntie Jessi, Amy and Sarah. They were so busy that day and night, that they didn't take her from us to bathe her until after 1:00am. I had to wait for my epidural to wear off before they could move us rooms. That happened around 4:00am and then they brought us back our beautiful baby girl. Daddy and Mommy were both so tired, but so happy to finally have our baby girl.
