Ivy Kate Moreton
Born on 12/8/2011 at 7:57 p.m. weighing 7lbs 8oz and 21.5 inches long
It took a while for her to make her debut, but after 13 hours of labor we were PROUD parents! We checked in at midnight on Wednesday night, and Dr. Torres broke my water at 7:20 a.m. on 12/8/11. The morning seemed to drag on as they would continue to come in and check my progress only to find that I was creeping along down the dilation road. I was starting to get very nervous that I was not going to progress in time and that I would have to have a C-Section to deliver her. When they checked me around 2:00 I seemed to be speeding up the process. Finally at my last check around 6:45 p.m. I was ready to start pushing...YAY!!! I pushed for almost an hour only to find out that her little (or not so little) head was stuck on my pelvic bone and would not come down on it's own. After a little help from the vacuum, here she came and two pushes later I heard the most beautiful sound I've ever heard and will never forget.
Dayne was AWESOME!! I couldn't have asked for a better coach. He never left my side all day long, and kept me calm the whole way through my pushing. He is one very proud poppa.
It's taken a while to get my blog updated, I've been a little preoccupied loving all over my sweet little sunflower as you can imagine. I plan to get it all updated today though so keep looking for more updates. I have PLENTY of pictures to show off.
Dayne and I just want to thank everyone again for all of the thoughtful comments, thoughts, prayers, phone calls and visits we've received during these last few weeks. We are beyond blessed, and can't even remember what life was like before Ivy Kate arrived.
