Paityn Elizabeth Bass has arrived!!

I cant believe she is here!! She is perfect and wonderful and so much fun!! I still cant believe that I get to be her mom. Paityn was born on May 4th, at 2:42 pm. She weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. She has tonz of hair, and the cutest chubby cheeks!! Well here is the story if you want to know it, if not then just skip it....lol

Warning this is a long post.....

I was 41 weeks pregnant and very uncomfortable, and very ready to hold my sweet girl. We were scheduled to be induced because my body would not progress. We got to the hospital on Monday night, they hooked me up to my IV and gave me medicine to help start labor, and told us to try to get some sleep. About an hour after they gave me the medicine, I started to contract, and was so so excited that my body was finally doing something lol. They gave me another dose of the medicine, and again told us to get some sleep. At this point the contractions were starting to get worse, so they gave me some medicine to help with the pain because I wasn't far enough along to get an epidural yet. My contractions were coming very steady about a minute apart, and Russ and I thought we would be having a baby very soon. We got a new nurse at shift change, and she watched my contractions and said that they were coming to fast for medicine to help with the pain so it was time to get my epidural-Best thing ever- they then started me on pitocin to help me dilate. After an hour or two of this my body still wasn't progressing and my contractions were right on top of each other. They weren't too worried because Paityn's heart rate was strong and it was steady. After staying this way for a few hours and still no progress Paityn's heart rate started to fall. They then gave me a shot to completely stop my labor and let Paityn rest. They let her rest for an hour or so, and then started pitocin again. When they started the pitocin again my contractions were right on top of each other again and Paityn's heart rate fell and stayed low, so they stopped my labor again and checked to see if I was ready to try and have a baby. Turns out I was only dilated to a three so they decided to see if my body would start labor on its own this time. They checked me again a few hours later and I wasn't any farther along, and Paityn's heart rate kept dropping. So after 16 hours of labor I was rushed into the OR for an emergency C-Section. To make a long story short, Russ was amazing and held my hand, he was such a comfort, a few minutes later Russ and I heard the most beautiful cry we have ever heard. Russ and I cried, and Russ went to go see our beautiful girl. They got me all stitched, and Paityn clean and wheeled us back to our room. Our families were waiting in the hall and they loved her immediately. Once our families all saw her Russ brought her in to see me, she was the most beautiful little girl I had ever seen and she just took my breath away. Russ helped me hold her because my arms were numb. That was one of the sweetest moments in my life having my little family together just the three of us. Very few moments can even compare to this moment.

There are so many things to say right now, and my heart is full. I don't even know if I have to words to describe what I feel right now. But I will save that for another time....lol

Here are a few pictures of her, I will post more later, I think we have taken at least 600 or so lol.

Here is our darling little Paityn!!
