Reagan Jaye Palmer

Well Reagan decided to come, finally. She was born on Monday March 29, 2010 at 9:15 a.m. She weighed in at 7 lbs 4 oz and was 20 inches long. We are so glad that she is here. I started laboring around 12 in the afternoon on Sunday, we went walking around town for an hour and I was having contractions pretty regular. When we got home from walking they were calming down, but I was not experiencing any movement from her, so to be safe than sorry, we decided to head in. When we got there I was 4 cm dilated. I stayed that way for the longest time. They made me walk the hospital halls for 3 to 4 hours. I think that I can now walk the halls blind folded. LOL!! After the last time of walking they offered me the epidural, and the pit. I took it, hoping that it would help me along the way. They let me hop in the shower before I got the epidural. After wards, the anathesologist got there and gave me the epidural, then after about 20 minutes they started the pit. At the time of this going on I was finally 6 cm. I was tired, so decided to get some sleep when the nurse came to check on me and put a monitor on her head, cause she could not get her on the monitor that was on my stomach. When she went to put it on her head, she freaked out, Reagan's head was almost out. She told me not to push, and told some one to get the doctor here now!!! By the time the doctor got there, Reagan was almost all the way out. He got me into position and told me to say UGH, a few times, then after about 3 or 4 times of saying that, he told me to start singing I am a Child of God. She was here!!! I did not have to push at all, she came all on her own.
Well enough of that, here are some pictures...................
