Maizie Kate was born on Sunday morning April 25th at 12:20am, weighing in at 6lb 9oz and 20 inches long. The birth experience was amazing and with Dan's support I was able to go natural! Starting early Saturday morning around midnight I started having irregular contractions that ranged from 30 - 10 min apart. Since my contractions were not steady and didn't hurt terribly bad I thought I must be in false labor and that it would stop. By 6:30 pm however my contractions all of a sudden jumped to four minutes apart and then 3, 2, 1. I still had my doubts that I was in labor and finally at 10:00 pm Dan convinced me it was time to go to the hospital. It was a good thing he made me go too cause by the time I got there and they checked me I was 8 cm dialated and pretty much ready to push! Maizie was born just under two hours after arriving at the hospital. Even though it hurt I am glad that I was able to go natural because as soon as I pushed Maizie out they were able to give her to me and she was wide awake. For a good 45 minutes she just starred at me. She is so beautiful with her brown curly hair (must have gotten a dark hair gene from my mom) and huge eyes. Both Dan and I feel so blessed to have Maizie in our lives and we couldn't be happier!

Congratulations! Maizie looks so cute. I'm sure you're all happy to be "outside" in the world together, what a wonderful family.
Congratulations!!! She really is so adorable, I am so glad everything went so great! You have such a cute little family.
Molly, she's so adorable! I had our first, Jessica, less than two hours after getting to the hospital too! It's wonderful to be able to have them natural if it works out. ( I think we bounce back faster, when we have them natural.) I love her hair!
