Our little girl is here! Rylan Esther Pooley was born this morning at 10:27 am weighing 6lbs 11oz- our tiny little peanut:) I just sent Tyler home to spend the night with Parker and I am sitting in the hospital with Ry on a pillow next to me, watching her sleep. I figured I better write this all down because I know once I get home and back to reality, life will be too crazy to sit down and blog!
So here are the details for anyone curious. I thought my labor with Parker was pretty darn easy as far as laboring goes but this time around was like a dream come true! I was in labor for a total of 3 hours, I felt about 20 minutes of contractions before getting my epidural, I pushed 1 and 1/2 times and out she came! I literally had to hold her in for about ten minutes making sure the doctor would get there in time! I had my first contraction about 7:30 am. At about 10:15 am I called my mom from the hospital to let her know I was dilated to a 5 1/2 and everything was looking good. FIVE minutes later my nurse said- "I'm going to check you again because she's acting like she's ready to come!" I had gone from a 5 1/2 to an 8 in FIVE minutes! I frantically called my mom (who was trying to get there with my family and Parker for the grand finale) and told her to DRIVE FAST! Not even 10 minutes and 1 and 1/2 pushes later, I was holding my beautiful little girl!
My labor and delivery nurse was amazing! Dr. Lowder didn't tease me too much (he is quite the jokester) And Tyler and I really enjoyed the whole experience. And Tyler was of course a wonderful labor coach through the whole thing. It was fast but flawless. And I am in love!
We were glad Tyler's mom and sisters were able to meet her before they move to Rexburg tomorrow. We will miss having them around to spoil the kids!
Parker was not quite sure what to think when he got there and met his new little sister. He and Grandma watched the nurses weigh and assess her and then he was ready to go back to playing with Kristen and Jake. I am sure he will grow to love her. Tyler is already so wrapped around her tiny little finger! I know he is nervous about having a girl but he is already showing a promising future as her daddy :) I sure am missing my boys tonight though and I am looking forward to being home with our little family of four :) Now I am going to sleep!
Many more pictures to come!
