Steph and her family finally arrived around 4:45 a.m. and CJ and I were on our way to the hospital. Charlie woke up too and was so excited to see his cousins! We headed to the hospital and everybody else went back to bed! We got admitted to the hospital and shortly after Dr. Keller came in and broke my water and started Pitocin around 7 am. I was in labor!! The nurse kept offering me an epidural, so I went ahead with one. The contractions had just started to get painful when the anestheisiologist arrived. My blood pressure dropped and I had to have some epinephrine. CJ was enjoying watching sports on TV until I kindly suggested that I didn't want to watch that! When I was dialated to 5cm we called for Mom, Stephanie and Kailee to come on to the hospital. Randy, Buck and Eli stayed at home with Charlie. Thank goodness they got there when they did, because I was 7 1/2 cm when they arrived and 10 minutes later I was 10 and the nurse said, "Don't push, the doctor is delivering another baby!" I was so relieved when Dr. Keller walked through those doors in just a few minutes! 3 pushes and Jerri Lynn was born at 3:09 pm!!! She weighed 8lbs and was 20inches long. She slept and slept and slept!! We are praying her laid back personality continues with her spirited brother! Charlie came to meet his little sister and was so sweet with her. He said, "baby- I like it, Jerri Lynn." Buck, Eli, and Uncle Randy came too. We are thrilled to have a little girl in the family after 16 years.
