She Is Here!!!

Meet the newest and cutest addition to our family.... Ellie Maurine Boyle. She came at 7:48 AM on Sunday morning the 26th. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 5 oz. and 20 inches long. She is absolutely perfect. So we have been to the hospital three different times thinking I was having Ellie, but all three times were false alarms. Well a couple of hours before we went into the hospital we went out to Linder Farms with my mom. Zoey absolutely loved it. There was a petting zoo there and she absolutely was in heaven. She got to feed all the animals and she was just laughing her head off. Well right when we got there we headed over to the petting zoo and all of a sudden a big gush of water came. Thought nothing of it because I have peed my pants twice now thinking it was my water. Well we headed home and Shawn went to his brothers to watch the big Boise State football game. Well I kept having leakage going on so I was a little worried. So I decided to do the famous test- lay down for thirty minutes doing nothing and if you stand up and a big gush comes then sure enough your water has broken. Sure enough the test came true. So I called Shawn and he headed to the house to pick me up and we headed to the hospital. Luckily my mom was in town and decided to stay an extra day. We are so lucky to have had her here to be with us and watch Zo. I was only in labor for four hours and got an epidural. They put me on pitosin and I tried to get some rest while everything was trying to happen. So at 2:00 AM I got the epidural. Then they checked me at 6:30 AM and I was only dilated to a 4. Well at 7:30 I started feeling a lot of pressure so I called my nurse and sure enough I was at a 10 and ready to push. She said to not move or push and that she was going to call the doctor. The doctor was there for ten minutes. I only pushed twice and she was here. The most amazing experience was that the doctor let me grab Ellie as she was coming out and pull her up onto my stomach. The best thing ever. Everything is going well. Zoey still is not sure of her and is adjusting for sure. Ellie has her days and nights mixed up too. So that is a little tiring, but all in all she is a great eater and we love our new addition to the family. Love you Ellie bug.
