We went into the hospital on Valentine's evening for a dose of Cervadil to help me dilate (and a yummy afternoon lunch at Cheesecake Factory!) After a long night of contractions, the next day we were dilated to 4cm at 9am... it worked! At around 10am they started the Pitocin to get things moving more quickly, and Mommy got an epidural and then at 3pm we were at 7cm! Shortly before starting to push, epidural wore off...yikes! Anesthesiologist gave two extra doses, but they were too late...started pushing at 4pm, and miraculously she was born at 5:18pm to a VERY tired but relieved Mommy. 
Here's our healthy girl... we weren't expecting 8lbs, and neither was the Dr! The Dr. told us he was surprised I was able deliver her for such a big first baby for such 'petite' people like Jarrett and I...LOL.
God is so amazing... what a miracle and blessing!
A very tired Daddy and his Lindsay Girl.... Jarrett was so wonderful through the entire labor and delivery. I truly felt loved, supported and encouraged by him the entire time. Without his strength and encouragement I know I couldn't have done it. I feel so blessed by this precious man, and fall more in love with him as I watch him in his new role as "Daddy"!More pics to follow of the first couple of days home as a family! Thank you to our sweet family and friends for your prayers! We are so excited for you all to meet our girl!
Congratulations! What a beautiful baby girl. I hope you are getting some rest and adjusting to life as 3! Love and hugs to you. Love, Becca, Thomas and Bailey
