Welcoming Presly Jane

On Jan 25th I was finally over the stomach flu that had hit about two day's prior. I was very, very glad that I hadn't gone into labor when I was sick and I was so happy that I was starting to feel better. For some reason that day I had the sudden urge to organize my house. I started in the play room which took me about three hours and then worked my way around the entire house. I new I was probably over doing it but for some reason I couldn't stop. I guess I just couldn't be ok with the idea of going into labor and leaving my house looking the way it was. (it was bad!) So, I am pretty convinced I put myself into labor. That night at about three in the morning my water broke. I then began to have steady contractions. Brittney came in the house and Toby and I drove to the hospital. After getting all situated and checked in I got the epideral around 6:00. My contractions weren't coming fast enough so they started me on PIT. I had Presly at 9:13. It went really well other then a few issues with nausea, even though I was giving birth, I couldn't help but notice how big Toby's guns were. I still hadn't eaten very much after being sick a few day's earlier so I think the fact that I didn't have food in my stomach made me a little nauseous.
Presly Jane weighed 8lb 1oz and is 19.5 inches. She is an angel and we are so happy she is here! Brittney brought brooklyn and nikell to the hospital at about 12:30. They were so excited to see baby Presly for the first time. They both love her so much and want to hold her every 5 seconds.
