Lilly Kay Wong was born on September 24 at 4:43 p.m. She was 6 lbs 13 oz and 20 1/2 in. long. She is absolutely gorgeous and perfect and I am so in love with my new daughter!
I started having contractions at 3:30 a.m on Sept. 23. I had contractions all day and went to the hospital around 8:30 p.m. I was only 1 cm. dilated at this point which was so disappointing! They admitted me anyway and gave me some pain medicine to help me sleep. I slept from around 3 a.m to 7:30 a.m. The doctor came in at 7:30 and broke my water and started my epidural. I have to admit the worse part of childbirth was getting the epidural and only because I was SO nervous. I literally could not stop shaking. Once I had the epidural I was completely comfortable and the contractions did not hurt at all. Once I was 8 cm. dilated, I did start feeling the pain of contractions. I was given an extra boost of epidural. In no time at all I was 10 cm dilated and completely numb. I could not lift my legs or even move my toes by myself. Kyle and the nurse had to lift my legs to push. It is a horrible feeling not having any control over your body! I pushed for about 1 1/2 hours before she was born. The pushing went very well since I couldn't feel anything! It was very relaxing with just Kyle and my nurse in the room with me. Once she crowned, my doctor came in and she was born a short time later! Even though it was long, the birth was very easy and mostly painless. I did not require any stitches so I have recovered very quickly.
We have been home since Friday and I love being a mommy! Lilly is such a good baby! She is even letting us sleep during the night. I usually have to wake her up to eat instead of the other way around! I love love love her SO much!!! Enjoy the pictures!

She is adorable Karie!! I am so glad everything went well. It is hard to imagine that we thought we knew what unconditional love was before they pop into our world. Simply amazing what God can do;)
