Madison Grace Love

On Friday, May 14th at 4:00am, I started having pretty strong and consistent contractions that woke me up. After tracking them until 7:00am, we noticed that they began to get further and further apart. False labor. Later that evening at 10:00pm, just as we were getting ready for bed, the contractions started up again. This time, the contractions grew stronger and stronger as time went on, and they were consistently happening every 5-7 minutes. By 1:00am, we had made the decision to make our way to the hospital. We checked in at Clovis Community and we were in a room by 2:00am. At 3:30am and 5cm dilated, I was given an epidural. By 8:00am I was dilated at an 8 and feeling really good. Somewhere between 8:00am and 9:00am, there was a little scare with not being able to find the baby's heartbeat. At this time, I was also complete and ready to push, just waiting on the doctor to arrive. Around 9:20am, after the doctor broke my water, I began to push. After pushing for almost forty minutes, at 9:58am on Saturday, May 15th, Madison Grace Love was born.

Aaron and I bought Audrey her very own infant carrier to put her baby doll in. She is such a good mommy to her babies, and she has been a wonderful big sister to Madison.

All buckled up and ready to go home.

Very proud parents of our new addition, Madison Grace Love.
