(This picture was taken the night before.)

We had a scheduled induction for Monday November 7th. We had to be at the hospital at 3:00 a.m. Tyler's parents were here to help us with the boys, it was so nice to not worry about them!

Tyler and I woke up at 2:45 and headed over to the hospital. We got registered and by 4:00 they started me on pitocin. Tyler was able to sleep a little bit on the couch.  I wasn't in a ton of pain but uncomfortable enough that I couldn't sleep. By 8:00 I asked for the epidural.  I should've asked for it sooner!  Tyler had to go to school for a little bit.  Stacey and Tyler's aunt Chrissy came down to hang out with me.   The doctor came and broke my water.  I think I was dialated to a six.  Tyler came back around 10:30 and then left to grab something to eat. As soon as he walked out the door the nurse came and checked me again and I was at a nine.  So we called Tyler and told him hurry back.  He made it back and the nurse said I was ready so she called the doctor.  The doctor said she would be ten minutes... 45 minutes later she came.

 I pushed two times and Olivia was born! 

We ended up staying in the hospital for two days, so they could watch her bilirubin levels.  When the levels had come down into low range we were able to come home.

We are so blessed that she is part of our family.

Love you little one!

Tyler's mom, dad, Aunt Chrissy and Cousin Marlee were all there for the delivery.  My family was on the phone. 

(They couldn't come because Sam was leaving for his mission the next day.)

The boys could not wait to come see their baby!

Ryder saw the baby and then came to me and said "baby in your tummy?"  I told him no and he went running back over to Olivia.

I guess he kind of understood, maybe?

The boys had to check out her hands, feet, and hair.
  Ryan was excited that she has hair like him.

First picture of all {3} kids.

Not the best picture, but it must be documented!

We had so many visitors @ the hospital.  I wish I would have taken pictures of everyone!

(Taycee was so interested in Olivia, way more than my boys.  

She will be a great big sister)!
