Our Family!

Well as most of you know our little sweet Ashtyn made it to us March 25th 2011. I was scheduled to be induced on the 25th at 7:00 am. But after a day and two nights of hard contractions we made it there at 6 haha i tried really hard to push it off til we were scheduled but i couldn't bare the contractions any more. (wimpy right) well when i got to the hospital i was dilated to a 6 wahoo! I feel pretty proud, but definitely couldn't go natural for sure if i was already in so much pain at a 6 i don't even want to know what a 10 feels like. I got my epidural right away and our sweet little Ashtyn Angela Miner made it here at 12:29 pm. She was 7 lbs 4 oz. and 18 inches long. We had a little bit of a rough go at first. Ashtyn had whats called coombs disease which is in her blood. It's where mine and mikes blood made anti bodies that transferred in to her body and then her body was having a hard time fighting it off. SO what does that mean.. well it created her to have the well known Jaundice and had to be in the NICU and under those wonderful lights. After a little scare for first time parents , a priesthood blessing and a few extra days in the hospital we were able to take her home. Ashtyn is now 8 weeks and 1 day old. We absolutely with out a doubt love her more than anything in this world. She is the best thing that has ever happened to us. We are just so blessed and so happy to have her in our lives. It's taken me along time to get this post done, but you all know how hard it is to be a new mom :) We also got our first family pictures done. Hope you enjoy the slide show :)
