They gave me pitocin and broke my water at the same time. Soon after the contractions started coming really strong. I was trying to wait to get my epidural, but like an hour into that and I wanted it. The epidural went well. He ran into my nerve a couple of times, which feels like when you hit your funny bone. Other than that, the epidural was not bad at all. In fact, it was awesome!! As soon as the medicine hit me, the contractions stopped hurting, and I was warm and comfy. My family and Eric's family came over to hang out with us. We just hung around and chatted for awhile. Then the nurse came in to check on me about 4. She checked me and said that I needed to push. WHAT?!? Was I ready for this? That's when I got nervous. But, after about 30-40 minutes of pushing she was here!
She was born at 4:43, and weighed 8lbs 3oz and was 19 in. long. She cried for a little bit, then was totally mellow the rest of the time. She was wide awake for everyone to see her. She is a great baby, very very calm. We just looked at baby pictures of Eric, and decided that she mostly looks like him.
Everything's been going really well. We just LOVE her. Her cheeks are so my favorite. Anyway, you're all welcome to visit sometime.

She's beautiful! I love the cheeks too. Congrats!
I have been watching the video Eric made just after she was born...and couldn't wait to see it a second time today so I could see her again. She is so beautiful. What a mellow little doll baby. I couldn't believe how at home she seemed in the world. Of course, never having seen a Bree baby picture, to me it's like deja-vu Eric Taylor Nelson. I love her wide open eyes, that she grabbed on to Eric's finger the mlli-second he put it in her hand. Sigh...I'm completely in love with baby Taylor.
Taylor is sooo beautiful! What a cutie! You guys look like pros already!
I can't wait to be a mom!!!!!!!! I want to be you when I grow up! Wait how does that work when you are younger than me? Meh it just works ok!
