Introducing Trinity Reighn Anderson.

There are some "details" that might be a bit personal for some. If so, you do not have to read on.

My baby girl finally made her appearance. I woke up Wednesday morning at 3:30 because of a contraction. It wasn't anything that I hadn't been feeling on + off for the past few weeks so I didn't think much of it. And lately when I get woken up, it takes me a couple hours to go back to sleep. So I got up + got on the computer to scrapbook. After about  30 - 45 minutes I realized that the contractions where coming in regularly. So I started timing them. They were coming in about every 10 minutes for 30 seconds. Not too close or intense. Then about 5:30 they had gotten close together - about every 5 - 7 minutes + had gotten longer + more intense. So I called the hospital. The nurse told me to grab my bags + come in.

I first laid out clothes for my three oldest for the day to help my mom out. Then Daniel + I headed to the hospital + got there just after 6 a.m. (Just a little background info: at my Monday appointment I was only dilated to a 3.) Changed into the wonderful hospital gowns...lol + the nurse checked to see my progression. I was 7 cm dilated. I asked for my epidural. The contractions were getting really close + very intense. And if I waited any longer, there was no way I would be able to get one.

I got settled into a delivery room. Everyone was rushing around getting me ready to have this baby because it was going to be sooner then later.




I love me a good epidural.

My doctor came in at 7:30 to see how I was + check me again - I was at 9 cm. And I was happily drugged + couldn't feel anything so I was perfectly fine. This is when he broke my water.

Next was just the waiting till I felt the urge to push. The epidural pretty much knocked out any feeling I had. And I was so very, very sleepy. But will everyone coming + going I didn't get much sleep.

Around 8:30 my doctor comes back in to check on me. I was fully dilated + everything was ready. Trinity still hadn't made her way down yet + was still actually high up. He asked me to do some light pushing + it helped start her way down + out.

I actually started real, "let's push this baby out" pushing at 8:50. And she got to the same point where my other children got before they got stuck + wouldn't come out. When she got to the point + I had tried pushing a couple good times, Daniel told my doctor this was pretty much at the same time I had to get cut with my previous three. He asked me to push hard one last time but there was no way she was fitting. So he cut me a little bit + one little push shot her out...as well as a wave of amniotic fluid that splashed over everyone down there. So her middle name fits her perfectly because she showered everyone...twice, on her way out.

 

Introducing: Trinity Reighn Anderson.

Born January 30, 2013 at 9:09 a.m.

Weight: 8 pounds 9 ounces

Length: 20.5 inches long.
 

She is my biggest baby by 2 pounds + 1.5 inches. And boy does she have a good set of lungs on her! She let everyone know she had come into the world.

I was able to hold her right after she was born while they scrubbed her down a bit. She needed some suctioning done, so they took her over to the baby warmer to weigh her + finish cleaning her off better. They literally do everything in the room, even her first bath.

After they cleaned her up, cleaned me up, + cleaned up the room my mom brought my kids to the hospital to meet their new sister.

And now, here are pictures of my new baby girl:

She has the roundest, chubbiest face ever! And her head is so nicely round too.

We were able to go home today around noon. I loved only having to stay one night in the hospital.

Going home.

And now we are all happily at home. Together as a family.
