A few hours after Dr. W broke my water, my family arrived at the hospital. I was so excited for them to be there! I wasn't a pretty sight for them...I was exhausted (I think I was a little out of it with those epidural drugs), I was quite nauseous, and I was tired of waiting on my daughter to arrive. I was just READY! Lucky for me, Dr. W came in and told me it was go time! YAY!
Chad was by my side the entire time. He encouraged me, fed me ice chips (man, did I love those ice chips!), held my hand, and gave me tons of forehead kisses (I LOVE forehead kisses!). I know I couldn't have done it without him by my side. A little under an hour of pushing later (with me sleeping in between contractions/pushing...sleeping!), Eisley Grace made her entrance into the world. She had (and still has) a healthy set of lungs and screamed and yelled about leaving the comfort of her home from the past 9 months.
Chad cried. I cried. My tears came from overwhelming joy, extreme exhaustion, absolute delight, and a new found depth of love I never knew I could feel. To this day, I can't describe the love I feel, other than being an unconditional and forever and ever kind of love.
Here's the official stats:
Eisley Grace Harrison was born on her due date of Sunday, October 20th at 4:15pm weighing in at 7lbs 4oz and measuring 21.5" inches long.
Every nurse told us that it was amazing Eisley was born on her due date. We were told numerous times that only 4% of babies are born on their actual due date! Eisley Grace is her momma's daughter! :-)
Sleeping between contractions....
Chad got a picture of the clock when Eisley was born: 4:15:58pm
This is my favorite picture of her! She looks so long!!
