She's Finally Arrived!!!....BRITTIN MICALL

Well its official...I'm finally a mom!! Brittin Micall was born Tuesday October 6th. It all started last saturday when we were moving. I apparently broke my water and didn't even know it. Well I could tell something was different and I was having a couple of contractions, but nothing too serious that I thought could be labor. So Sunday passed uneventful, and then Monday, Kyle and I went to Layton for his interview and a BBQ in Lehi with some of our friends. I was still leaking some fluids by that night so my mom told me to go to the hospital and get it checked out.
We got to McKay Dee at 11:30 Monday night and they ran a test to check. I for sure thought I was heading home, but the nurse came in and said it was amniotic fluid and they would be starting me. I was kind of in shock and totally not prepared. They got me in the room and hooked up on the medication. By 2:30 I couldn't take the pain anymore and they gave me the epidural (ha whoever thought natural is the way to go is CRAZY!!)....By 7, Tuesday morning I was ready to push. Kyle made it about one push and he had to sit down cause he was about to pass out. He had to watched from the couch the rest of the delivery... I felt bad for him. After a little communication problem, my mom showed up and was there to help. I'm so glad she came cause I don't think I would have been able to make it without her help. Labor is definitely not an easy thing. The dr. came in at 9:10, I gave one final push, and she was out by 9:14.
It sure has been an emotional roller coaster ever since we left the hospital. It makes me so sad that the whole thing had to happen so fast and that my little baby is 3 days old already. Sometimes I wish I could just be pregnant again. But I guess that's how it goes and I just have to enjoy every little moment I get to spend with her. And here comes the tears again!!! Enjoy

Coming in at a whopping 6 lbs 10 oz and 19 1/2 inches long our beautiful baby girl!

Finally here....after a long night and 2 hrs of pushing Brittin finally arrived at 9:14 am on October 6th....3 days before her due date.
Death grip on the binky. This was the first time I put a binky in her mouth and she loved it.

We finally made it home. Kyle and I were so happy to have Brittin there with us we couldn't help but get a little emotional...thus the puffy red eyes.

Is this not so cute :) My little munchkin
