This is Blu.....he is just a little on the jealous side. This little doggie is spoiled rotten and he is not used to not being the center of attention. He is getting a little better though.

Introducing Rylee Kay Robertson

Mommy, Daddy, and Rylee...finally a family!!!

Taking her to meet everyone else

what a chunk...

Rylee Kay Robertson was born on April 7, 2010 at 2:21 pm...She weighed in at 8lbs and 6oz. She was 19 3/4 inches long. She is the most beautiful and perfect baby. This was by far the best day of my life. Nothing can prepare you for the kind of love you have for this sweet little baby once you see her. The entire 9 months you try and prepare yourself for what you think is about to happen but nothing can prepare you for the amount of love you have for this sweet little baby. Being a mommy is the greatest thing ever. Richie is such a proud daddy and he has done excellent with her. She had him wrapped around his little finger the moment he saw her.

Getting ready to meet Rylee

This is me at 39 weeks. I went in on April 7, 2010 to be induced. We had to be at the hospital bright and early at 5AM. We arrived at the hospital and got checked in and in our room and the process started. First they hooked me up to all the monitors and started my IV. We had to do some paper work while we waited on the doctor to come by and break my water. The doctor showed up around 7:30 to break my water. As soon as she did that they started the pitocin. When I went for my 38 week check up I was dilated 3 cm. Well when the doctor checked me at the hospital I was still at 3cm. So pitocin was started and the contractions started coming. They got to about 1-2 minutes apart and I dilated to 4 cm pretty quickly and I got to get my epidural...THANK GOODNESS....(not sure why anyone would want to do a natural delivery)...So after the epidural I didnt care what took place. They gave me some pain meds for the contractions and I was a little on the drunk side from the pain meds. After epidural I went to 6 cm and the baby dropped down just a little....After about 3 more hours I did not dilate 1cm...and the baby did not drop any...dang it...I knew what was coming when the doctor came in. The dreaded words of C-Section. Doctor thought that the baby was just to big to fit down in the birth canal is why she was not dropping any. Richie and I were very nervous at this point. We knew it was the best thing though since the I was not progressing any and we were ready to meet out little girl...So off we went for a C-section at 2:00 pm......

38 week check up...

So. I went for my 38 week appointment on 03/31/2010. I was sooo hoping for some progress to be taking place. First of all of course they weighed me and good gracious I am up to a total of 30 pounds now...YIKES!! The doctor says that is right where I need to be. I sure hope I can get all of this weight off. So I sit and wait for the doctor. She comes in the room and we are talking and she says do you want to be induced. I said heck yeah the sooner the better. She did explain that she did not want to induce me if there was no progress going on. So we got the heartbeat and it was 156 this time. She measured me and didnt tell me what I was measuring so I am not sure on that part. So then she said lets examine you and see if anything is going on. I was 1 cm dilated at my 37 week appointment. She was examining me and said WOW...you are 3 cm dilated and your cervix is thined out. She said we will induce you next Wednesday (April 7th). She also said that she did not think I would make it until then but they could not induce me sooner than 39 weeks...boooh. I wanted her to say lets just go on downstairs and we will induce you today but heck no...She did make the comment that she thinks the baby is going to be big so that was some great news. I am still hanging in there. I have not been having any contractions that I am aware of. I do have back pains everynow and then which could be contractions I guess but I really think that little Miss Rylee likes it in my tummy and we will not get to meet her until April 7th. That is ok though I have waited this long what is 5 more days. We are sooo excited and can not wait to meet her. April 7th is the day after my birthday and also Jenna's Birthday so her and her best friend are going to have the same birthday...how carzy is that. Well anyways...I hope to get pictures up soon after she is born so until then I hope everyone has a HAPPY EASTER!!!
