: Baby Payton is born!!!!!!!
: amberdoggoneit July 17, 2008, 12:39:21 PM
She arrived on Friday July 11th at 11:34 pm.

I went into labor on Friday evening at about 8:00.  She is SOOOO good.  She sleeps very well for being so little.  She weighed 7lbs 7ozs. 

Labor went VERY fast.  I went into labor and had only been in the car 20 mintues and felt like I needed to push.  It only took about an hour after that and I was completely dialated.  I pushed 3 times and she was out. 

I have been trying to upload pics and am not sure how to downsize them but my new avatar is a picture of her.  Can anyone tell me how to downsize them?

Here is the link to all the pics of herhttp://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=135784&l=e4a64&id=507860631.
 I can't downsize them for some reason.
Yea Hubby was there. 

It was kind of funny but wasnt at the time.  We have been told that first births usually take hours.  Well I told hubby that we needed to leave for the hospital and he was in the middle of watching a movie.  He finished watching the movie and then took a SHOWER before we left.  He didnt believe it was as close as it was. 

We then were in the car and I told him to safely speed becuase I was about to push.  He didnt believe me and when we got there I was 8 centimeters!

Thank you everyone!!!!  I LOVE being a mommy.  It is something that I never knew I wanted so much until now I am one and cant imagine ever being anything else. 

Yea I wouldnt let anyone take any pictures "pre" epidural.  I probably looked pretty rough then! :D  I barely got the epi.  I was completely dialated 5 mintues before they checked me and said I was completely dialated. 

It is so sweet to see my hubby with her!!  He has only changed 2 diapers since having her.  He said it scares him about wiping a little girl the wrong way!

I feel really bad.  The fur babies really have not "met" her yet.  They have sniffed her over the fence and have seen her while walking to thier crates. 

We have had TONS of ppl in the house and they have been kind of overwhelmed with that.  So during the time everyone is over and holding her they have been outside playing in thier new pool and then have been coming in after everyone leaves which has been at bedtime. 

I guess it is a good thing though. Thier "room" is right across the hall from hers and they have heard her cry and make a whole bunch of noises during the night and have not barked yet. 

Everyone leaves tomorrow so that will probably be the day they officially meet Miss Payton.

Well I introduced Bell to Payton tonight.  She didnt act like I thought she would. I was sure tha tshe would be in love with her but instead she is a little leary of her. 

I held Payton and let Bell out of her crate and brought her to the den.  I let her smell a blanket that Payton has been using today and then she came over to Payton.  She smelled her legs and hands.  I wouldnt let her get to close to her face yet.  I just kept praising her telling her how good a=she was and then Payton cried and that was enough for Bell.  She went and got right back in her crate. 

How do yall think she will be with her? She wasnt ugly just a little concerned.

 ;D ;DCongratulatio ns!! ;D ;D

I LOVE the photo of your husband brushing her hair and you look wonderful and glowing with happiness.

Don't worry about the babies they will adjust ok to her. I would rather a dog was a little leary then overboard with excitment thats when little ones get hurt.

When my friend brought home her baby, her dog ran away too; now she can't wait to come in and see what she's doing and of course try to steal the baby food from her chin!!

Wow, I'm sorry, I'm way late here.  I've only been on a little lately b/c my computer's in the shop (I'm on hubby's) & my Dad is visiting from CA.

Amber, I'm so happy that your labor went so well and that your husband was able to be with you.  With the pg that the dr stripped my membranes, I was 7cm when we got to the hospital & my total labor was only 2 1/2 hours, so your experience sounds familiar to me.  That's especially wonderful for a first labor, too (my first was 15 hours).  ;)

Payton is beautiful baby & you and your husband both look sooo relaxed & happy.  Congratulation s!!!   ;D  :-*

Yea Hubby had to go back out of town last night and I was talking to him about Bell's experience with Payton.  HE said "Oh she will love her when she is in a highchair eating food and drops it".  But I guess look at it this way, I will have the cleanest floors in Georgia!!!! ;D

Well Boo Boo and Baxter met Payton for the first time this evening. I decided to do it right after I had fed her so she wouldnt be fussy. It went alright.  Buble was more interested in pulling her blanket off of her and Baxter just smelled her and then wouldnt come near her.
