Mommy's precious little angel! She is so sweet when she is sleeping! (okay she is sweet all the time but especially when she is sleeping!)

This is Berkley's favorite position. If she is fussy and wont take a Binky just hang her over your arm and she falls right to sleep.

Isn't she the cutest thing! I put the bow on her head and daddy hated it because he said it was too big...I say the bigger the better. It makes her look so cute!!!

This is me after getting the epidural. I felt nothing from the waist down and slept most of the time until I started pushing.

Mommy and Daddy in the hospital just before Berkley was born!
We are so excited to be new parents!
This is my sisters JoLee and Zeffie with me about 30 minutes before going to the hospital. I had gone to see Dr. Lunt Wednesday morning (6/10) and was told that I was dilated to a 5 and 80 percent effaced. my contractions weren't consistent so he sent me home and told me to head to the hospital when they became more frequent. I called into work and told them I wasn't coming in and went home. Zeffie came over and we went for a walk to see if we could start some contractions...nothing. About 3:00pm i started having very mild contractions but they were coming every 3 to 4 minutes. we timed them for about an hour and both my mom and Zeff said that I should go get checked out at the hospital. I did and the nurse said that she thought it was too early and that they would probably send me home but they would monitor me for an hour and see how I was progressing. Dr. Lunt came in about an hour later and checked me out. He said that he could send me home but that I would probably be back in a few hours so he decided to admit me. At about 6:00 pm he came in and broke my water. By 7:00pm my contractions were very painful so I had the anesthesiologist give me an epidural. It was great! I watched the monitor and saw my contractions but did not feel a thing. The nurses came in at 8:30pm and I was dilated to a 7. They came back at 10:30pm and I was dilated to a 9. They told me it would not be much longer and I would have to start pushing. At 11:30 they came back and I was dilated to a 10. They had me start pushing and about 30 minutes later they called in Dr. Lunt and about 15 minutes after that Berkley was born. It was the most amazing thing ever. To see her for the first time and to hear her cry was so incredible. Being a mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me!
Isn't she the sweetest thing you have ever seen?!?!?!!!!!

Here is Berkley and daddy! He absolutely adores this little angel! He is such a great dad. She is already being spoiled rotten and has daddy wrapped around her little finger. She fusses at all and dad is right there to console her. It is the cutest thing ever!

Berkley's cousins came to visit her in the hospital. Asher wouldn't let Avaree be left out so he had to hold her while Olivia held Berkley. Avaree had to check out the new baby by poking her! It is so fun to have cousins around. Berkley's birthday is right in between Olivia's (June 6th) and Avaree's (June 16th). They are all going to be great friends!
