Well as you can see Ms. Shelby Lynne has joined our family as of March 9, 2009. She weighed 8 lbs, 21 Inches long and joined us at 11:50 AM. Her labor so a breeze compared to Jayden's (well as far as labor can go). We checked in to the hospital at 5:45 AM on Monday to be induced, but they didn't actually start anything until 8:45 AM when the doctor arrived to break my water (needless to say Doc was NOT happy with the nurses as I should have been on pitocin by 6 AM). Once doc broke my water and started the pictocin at 8:45 AM, I started having those wonderful contractions and by 11:35 I was ready to start pushing. I pushed for 15 minutes (like I said a lot different than the 3.5 hours of pushing with Jayden) and Shelby joined us. Oh did I say they wouldn't give me ANY drugs since I went from 2-10 so fast...wasn't impressed, but at least it was fast. :)
Now we have been home since Wednesday morning and everything is going great! :) Jayden loves being a big brother, he thinks he is the only one that should hold Shelby (not even mom or dad should) and loves to be a VERY protective brother...this could be interesting. :) Shelby has an interesting sleeping pattern the last few days (guess we got spoiled the first time around), although last night she only got up three times to eat and get her diaper changed. I actually woke up several times because I thought she was sleeping too good. Go figure! :) She is sleeping in her carseat because she refuses to sleep in her craddle...I don't think she likes the room she has. I feel bad saying she sleeps in her carseat, but it works because I think she feels secure...so we will try it for a few days and then try the craddle again.
Well I hope all is well for everyone and hope to talk to you soon. If you would like to look at more pictures, please visit us at http:\\ourbarberfamily.shutterfly.com
