After fully expecting to having to be induced on Tuesday, imagine our suprise when we went into labor late on Saturday night! My water broke while we were watching a movie, so we called the doctor and were told to go ahead and come to the hopsital. So off we went on the adventure of childbirth... what a wild ride it was!
Off to the hospital around midnight on Saturday the 28th.
We're officially given the green light that we're here to stay and that this baby was a-comin!
It ended up being a loooong night in labor. Sweet Joel was a trooper and the BEST labor and delivery coach ever!
Where we kept an eye on my contractions and Harper's little heartbeat.
After the epidural was administered around 5 am. Feelin' gooooood now. :)
After 2 and 1/2 hours of pushing, Harper is finally born at 11:33 am on Sunday morning! It was the most incredible moment ever getting to see her for the first time!
Getting to snuggle and bond with my sweet girl.
Getting weighed in. She weighed 7 lbs, 9 oz. and 20 inches long. Check out that hairdo!
Our awesome L&D nurse Erin giving Harper a workup.
Finally, she's all cleaned off and all ours to love on.
The proud daddy with his new baby girl.

How exciting! We were all celebrating over lunch here on Sunday with the Brawners. Bring her to Spfld ASAP. She already has a fw fans here!
How are we related?? Seriously, I am so glad everything went so smoothly and pain free. maybe my water will break and I can get a "rocking epidural." Maybe I can just keep dreaming!! HAHAHA! Enjoy this sweet time. Give my niece lots of love!
