On Sept 14 we went to the hospital at 7:30am to be induced. Knowing that we were going to the hospital the next day to see have our baby and found out if it was a boy or girl, we did not sleep so good that night and we were up way before our alarms went off. We were so full of excitement and a little fear that we just laid there talking about it. Then finally it was time to go! We got to the hospital and got all checked in and then they hooked me up to an IV and started the Petocin. At around noon I started to feel some contractions getting stronger and at about 1:30 they were getting pretty unbearable so they gave me some medicine through my IV because I couldn't get an epidural because the anesthesiologist was in a C section. So at 3 I was able to get an epidural. I was dilated to a 3 at that time. Man I felt so much better after that. I did good for a few hours and I was slowly dilating then the pressure started. That was horrible!!! I had so much pressure and I had terrible shivers. So they gave me a little bit more medicine through my IV. Then I think around 9 or 10 I started pushing. The doctor got there around 11 and I did one big push and our little one was here! She was born at 11:16 pm and weighed 7lbs 13 oz and was 19.25in long. She has so much dark brown hair that she had to have gotten from Tyler because I had white hair!

We were so surprised that she was a girl because we had been hearing a lot that they thought we were having a boy but it was a good surprise. Tyler and I couldn't be happier. We had to send the Mother in Laws out shopping for little girl clothes because we had only had boy clothes. And there was no way I was going to let my little girl wear boy clothes! Here is her first picture with Daddy.


The new little Ortiz family!
And the other night we were watching baseball so we had to have this little baseball outfit on. She looked like a little boy so I had to put the headband on. Thanks Bailey you are a life saver, people would get her gender confused if you didn't send me those cute headbands! I need to add that the D-Backs beat the Rockies that night! She was good luck in this outfit. Poor daddy and Mimi!

I know this is just a tip of the iceberg with our new little girl but we are loving it. She is such a good sleeper like her mommy and is a good eater, also gets that from her mom! Last night she slept for 4.5 hours. I can handle that!

This week we have had my mom here and Tyler's mom here. We are so grateful for the help! Terri left home today and my mom is staying for another week to help with the baby and help us pack up all our stuff so we can move on Oct 1st.

I will add more pictures later!
