Well our little Alexis came into our lives with some serious style!
Thursday night I made a phone call to John, who was out for ice-cream with the kids, at 7:59 telling him that my water just broke. He rushed home against my recommendation to stay and get ice-cream... which was a very good decision on his part... My contractions started immediately and were quite painful, by the time John got home and we grabbed our bags and headed to LDS Hospital, my contractions were right on top of each other - literally NO break in between.
We made it to the hospital around 9pm, was barely able to get changed into a gown (all the while screaming for help), was told I was not able to have an epidural because she was coming now, freaked out, pushed 3 times and she was here. Luckily there was a doctor walking down the hall that saw we needed help, or the poor nurse would have grabbed Lexi as she shot out...at 9:24 pm
Literally the hardest physical experience of my life...all worth it of course.
She has been the best baby! She is sleeping through the night, I have to wake her to feed and she is just so content. We are so lucky! The kids are being such great helpers and are so happy their little sister is here. She is definitley loved...maybe even a little obsessed over.
