After some trouble with low amniotic fluid, Dr. Smith
decided Katie’s lungs were developed enough, we should wait no longer and she
scheduled us for a c section for 10:00 a.m. on 2/2/2012 Jake, Sam, and I headed
to bed and the arrival of Aunt Lynnsey who is going to be the photographer for
the big arrival. Aunt Lynnsey arrived about 3:00 a.m. and used her key to get
in, but she couldn’t sneak past Sam, he heard her come in the door and went to
barking and gave us a start! Jake went to let Sam know it was just Aunt Lynnsey
and I sat up to follow them. When I sat up on the edge of the bed my water
broke…to be sure I went ahead to the bathroom and once there I was very sure
that is what happened, so I informed Jake and Aunt Lynnsey that it was time to
GO! On the way to the hospital I called Dr. Smith, Man and Granny, Dad, Laura,
Blane, Darby, and Keely, and my Mom. Everyone that could, headed to the
hospital to await your debut. Even though Katie was scheduled to come a bit
later that morning, we bumped the other woman ahead of us out of the way and
Katie Elouise came bursting in the world around 5:45
! Then everyone who could all
came by the hospital to hold you and see your happy face! We were surrounded by
so many family members and friends! You barely noticed being passed around, you
went from one arm to the next and back to me for a little something to eat and
then get passed around again. Let’s hope you are this easy going from now on!
