She's here! Ayzie Lynn Honey was born Sept 4, 2008 at 4:08 in the morning!(It was a long night!) She weighed 6lbs 12oz and was 18in long. It was the most amazing experience of my life! I went into the doctor sept 3rd for my appt and was dilated almost to a six, so he striped my membranes and we left, that was about 5:30 pm. We went out to dinner and by 7:45 pm I was having contractions. I actually went into labor on my own! We got to the hospital about 10:00pm and I had her at 4 in the morning. My longest labor yet! I was so scared to have her because of everything I knew we would be facing, and I was about to see how severe the cleft was. When it was time I started crying but new that I had no choice and couldn't turn back now. When she came out Dr. Lunt was just looking at her and he put his finger in her mouth, then looked at me and said, "there is nothing wrong with this baby!" I didn't believe him until he held her up for me, and then I saw that she didn't have a cleft, she was perfect! I started sobbing, Carson was crying, it was an emotional delivery room. Everyone was crying including all the nurses! For the rest of the time I was in the hospital everyone kept calling her the "miracle baby". That is exactly what she is, a miracle baby! The doctors were all stunned and couldn't explain it. Some people have asked me if I'm mad at the doctors for putting me through all of this, and I say there is no reason to be mad at them because it was there, there was a cleft. Carson & I saw it at all of our ultrasounds, and so did the Perinatologist and the ultrasound technicians! At all of my ultrasounds it was there every time. I now know the power of prayer and blessings. I feel like it was Heavenly Father's way of saying I'm really here and if you just have faith in me, anything is possible! It has been the most amazing experience of our lives!
Cole and Ellie adore her, and never stop looking, touching and holding her! I'm so glad that they love her and I don't have to worry about anyone being mean, but to be honest they are driving me crazy!! I'm constantly saying stop touching her, get out of her face! I'm sure everyone knows exactly what I'm talking about. Hopefully once the newness wears off it will be better, until then I just constantly have to have an eye on them at all times.
I can't believe we're a family of 5! I feel so blessed to have 3 beautiful kids!
