Reese's Arrival

Reese Elizabeth Uschold joined our world on June 17th at 2:37 pm weighing a whopping 9 pounds. She is so beautiful and we are so in love with her. We went in Tuesday night and the doctor induced my labor Wednesday morning at 4:30 am. By 6 I was already having contractions pretty bad. At 10 they gave me my epidural and I fell asleep. At 11 I was already at a 8 and I started shaking. 20 minutes later we started pushing and pushing and pushing. The doctor could see the head right away, but could not get it past the wall. I tried as hard as I could, but nothing happened. Reese's heartbeat started to speed up so the doctor decided we needed to do a c-section right away. I was in tears because I wanted so bad to have her naturally, but I couldn't do it anymore and Reese was in danger. Only Chris was allowed to be in for the c-section. It was great because I could still hear everything and feel a part of it. To get Reese out the nurse had to get on the table and push my stomach. The second we heard that first cry Chris and I both burst out into tears. When I close my eyes I can still hear that first cry. Nothing can ever be more amazing than that experience. We are so very blessed and I feel so complete!!
