Baby Harper is here!

Harper Nean was born November 5th, 2012.  A day I will never forget and a day I will always be grateful for.  It all started Sunday night November 4th (my birthday) we checked in to the Davis Hospital.  I went in Sunday to get started since my DR was going out of town in a couple days and I wanted her to deliver our baby. 

After giving me some medicine to soften my cervix we were told to sleep until the next morning although we both couldn't really sleep, to excited and nervous! The next morning my water was broke and later that morning I received the epidural.  I progress slowly and never thought I was going to be fully dilated.  I stayed at a 4 for almost the whole day and then at about 5 I progressed quickly and by 6:30pm I was dilated and it was time to push.  Our sweet princess was born at 6:45pm weighing 6 lbs 11 oz and 19 inches long.    



I will never forget those first few moments with our little girl.  As she was placed on my chest I remember her sweet face and how she looked at me.  She knew I was her mom and I have never been so proud and so in love.  I can't even describe the love I have for her and how it changed the moment she was born.  She knew who I was and she knew who her dad was.  Nash and I both just stared at her and couldn't believe we were so lucky to have her as ours.
