As I was creating this blog and typing the first post, little did we know, Adelynn was preparing for a birthday. At 10:45 Saturday 10/24/2009 Amber's water broke. We called the doctor to make sure that's what it was (sounds silly but we had to make sure). The doctor told us to head to the hospital. Very calmly, we gathered everything in the house that would fit in the car. We called family on the way to the hospital. I pulled into the wrong parking garage and took Amber to the wrong door (which was locked). We jumped back into the car (well, not Amber, she sort of scooted back in) drove around the building to the correct door and walked into triage. Amber was only dilated to a 1 so the doctor started her on patocin. For the next 7 hours she had some major contractions that dilated her to a 4. When she figured out that sleeping in between 2 minute contractions was not going to work, she gave into the epidural. I am here to tell you that an epidural is a husband's best friend. They could make a killing on that stuff in the black market! Anyway, around 2:00PM on Sunday 10/25/2009 the pushing commenced, and finally at 5:12PM Miss Adelynn Grace Murry was born. She weighed in at 8lbs 13.4oz, 21 inches long, and with a full head of hair. Not to mention, a full head of marconium. Yes boys and girls, the 3 hours of pushing stressed Miss Adelynn enough to make her poop. The nurses were worried about her breathing so she was transferred to NICU. After 2 hours, they sent her back down and said she was a healthy little girl! Amber's mom, dad, grandparents, and sister got to come into town and many of my family members were able to make it from Dallas and Borger. The biggest surprise (after Adelynn of course) was my parents who flew in from Billings, Montana to see their first granddaughter. Anyway, without further ado, I give you pictures of the new Murry...and I have to say, the cutest of the bunch.
