2:27pm and weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces. They gave me the pitocin at 9:30, I felt my first contraction at 10:30 and she was born before 12:30. Everything went really well except for the fact that I had a resident administer my epidural. I felt like I was on an episode of ER and this was the first epidural the guy had ever given. By the time he cam
e to my room it was 11:30 and I was having contractions right on top of each other. He kept poking me with the dang needle over and over again and probably put the epidur
al in at least 5 times! Finally he called the Attending in and he did it correctly in 2 minutes; however, by then I was fully dilated and ready to push! I was so mad, because there wasn't enough time for the medicine to start working and I was not ready for a natural birth! The good part is that it was really fast and it's a lot easier to push when you're bottom half isn't numb!She's only 16 days old, but so far Alexis is such a sweet,
good natured baby. When she was first born she looked exactly like Kaitlyn did, but with brown hair and brown eyes. Every day she looks a little different and gets a little bigger. Kaitlyn is such a great big sister and loves to hold Lexie and play with her. Anyway, we are so blessed to have this little angel as a part of our family. She has such a sweet spirit and we love her so much. Enjoy the pictures!

What a cute family you have! Alexis sure is a pretty baby. We hope you are settling in to having two kids. Let us know if we can do anything for you guys.
She is starting to look different. I can't believe that! I would have kicked that guy after the first failed poke. You were strong. She was just like alivia, born on the 24th and weighed the same too:)
So cute! We are glad to hear that everything went well! I am jealous of your super short labor too!
What a precious baby! She's beautiful! I am glad that everything is going well with ya'll.
She really is such a sweetie! I wish we were right there to come over and spoil her! We miss you guys tons!
I can't believe the whole resident thing. I would have been pretty ticked! Glad Alexis is here & healthy!
Alexis is beautiful. Congratulations.
Ouch. That was horrible with the whole epidural experience. You poor thing.
Alexis is just beautiful. I love the new picture at the top of your blog. What a good looking family. :)
