Earlier today our little girl finally made her entrance into the world.
Bridgit Parker Bailey, born at 12:58 a.m. at 7 pounds, 3 ounces, and 19.5 inches long.
She is stubborn, just like her daddy. After 28 hours in labor, painful and exhausting labor, she was still not making any progress towards joining us. The doctor decided that it was time for a c-section before there were any complications with the baby's life, or mine. As terrified as I was, I knew that it was for the best. Sean and I decided that the doctor knew best and made up our minds to move forward with the surgery.
Sean called our parents up to the hospital so that they could be there before we went in. Everyone gave their love, took too many pictures of me looking miserable, and headed to the waiting room. Sean then "suited up" in his paper scrubs, got his mask and booties ready, and told me how much he loved me as they rolled me into the operating room.
The next few hours were a blur of pain, joy, fear, love, tears, hugs, and amazement. Bridgit was born quickly and beautifully and took our breath away from her first tiny cry.
She was brought to me and it was so amazing to be able to kiss her, see her, and know that she was all ours.
Watching Sean hold her and carry her out to meet our parents was the most life changing moment. I knew that our lives were forever changed, for the better.
