Welcome Katelynn Michelle Huffman!

As most of you probably know Kate was born Friday afternoon, February 13th at 4:55pm. She weighed 7lbs9oz and was 19in long. She has lots of beautiful black hair and blue eyes. She looks just like her daddy and little brother. I went into the hospital at 11pm the night before and got a couple of doses of Cytotec through the night. I couldn't sleep at all! Dr. Thibault came in Friday morning and started my epidural and broke my water. Unfortunately the epidural only worked on the right side of my body(that was after 2 sticks to try and get it). I had some Stadol to help with the pain. They started Pitocin on me and my contractions were very strong. It took me most of the day to dilate, but once I got to 7 it didn't take long! Right before I started pushing Dr. T redosed my epidural and my blood pressure dropped to 68! I felt aweful and was hurting so bad, but it was all worth it!!! Kate did wonderful and is very healthy. She is so sweet. She stayed in the room with us most of the time unless they needed to take her to the nursery. She still has her days and nights mixed up, but she's getting better. She had her first doctors appointment today and he said she was perfect! She weighs 7lbs5oz. Here are some pictures...
