Kitra Anne Ward
Born Thursday 12/05/13 at 7:40pm
7lbs 14oz and 20in long
Quick run down of the highlights:
I woke up at 4am with cramping...but didn't think I was in labor
Around 7am the contractions started to get consistent at 3 to 5mins apart
I called work and told them I wouldn't be in and that I thought I may be in labor however I was still in denial.
Called the Doctors office about 8 and they said to head to hospital when I felt the contractions had been consistent for about 2hrs and they told me to walk.
My Mom was at our house at this point and we headed to her shop to walk and the contractions stayed consistent and got closer together so we proceeded to the hospital at about 10:30am!
The rooms were full besides one and luckily when I got there and stepped on their scale my water broke which meant they had to keep me!!
Labored with no pain medication until about 2pm at 6cm dilated.
Got the epidural at this time pain meds are AWESOME!! Kuddos to every woman who has had their baby all natural you gals are rockstars :)
Had some craziness with the epidural it kinked in my back twice...came partially un-numb at one point...but luckily I had a great anesthesiologist who got the problem solved!!
Pushed for 20mins and she was out!!
Everything went so smooth I am so grateful that not only that she came on her own but that everything went so well :)
Here are some photos:

She is such a beautiful girl and I am happy to report as of now she wears my bows!!
We found her like this after the car ride home today after her 1 week well child appointment!
Gypsy has been very good with Kitra...really hasn't paid her much attention! However tonight Daddy got to have both his girls on his lap which was super cute :)
