Ada's "Birth" Day Part I

Many of you know that my inductions with both Alison and Annie were not the most successful. Going into this baby both myself and my OB were very open in regards to birth options to bring this little babe into the world safely and efficiently. 
At my appt on Valentine's Day we decided that a slight drop in baby's heart rate, a slight increase in my Bp, and some overall anxiety/nerves meant it was time to bring baby out! So 2 hours later I was headed to the hospital.
After 8 hours of cytotec which is to help ripen the cervix and initiate some contractions, my body still wasn't cooperating very well, we decided a C-Section was in the best interest of everyone. So, at 6:45am on February 15th, 2013 we headed into the OR and had a baby 31 minutes later!!!!

The overall C-Section experience is pretty crazy and I'll save you all the details but I am so thankful that we decided to go that route. I mean 7 minutes into the procedure we had this angel.......

Ada Kathleen Bishop (pronounced A-duh)
7.2 pounds
21 inches long
7:16am

She did fantastic with the c-section and it was amazing to hear her little cry before she was officially out of my tummy! Chris got to announce her sex and we couldn't be more thrilled to have another little girl in our family!

Mommy's first chance at holding as we rolled to recovery! Take my breath away JOY!

This is my AMAZING OB....God definitely placed her in my life for a reason, she is a fantastic doctor and I pray that as a nurse I have impacted patient's lives the way she has impacted ours.

Hair wash time!!!

37 weeks pregnant and our baby has a nursery!

Well friends and family, baby time is getting near! We are beyond excited at our house....the belly is getting big and the nursery is officially complete!
37 weeks......I thought black was suppose to be slimming?!

This little lady is SO excited! I just know she's going to be a GREAT big sister!
We basically left the nursery the same as it was for Alison...we did some cleaning, paint touch-up, rearranging of furniture, and added a few new decorations. I am super happy with it and cannot wait to bring our new addition home to its room!
