Makena is here!

After having contractions all night I woke Shane up at about 4 am on Tuesday, August 19th, and told him I thought it was time to head to the hospital. It was a long day of being in labor but thankfully I had an epidural to make things a little easier. I truly do not know how people do it without having an epidural, that is amazing to me. I personally loved my epidural. :) Shane was right by my side all day and was a great support to me. At 5:38 pm our sweet, little Makena came into this world. It was an incredible moment that I will never forget and I am so thankful for her and for my sweet husband and this special time we were able to experience together. Makena was 8 lbs, 5 ounces and 21 3/4" long!! Yep, she was a big girl. I was shocked when they told me how much she weighed, I never expected to have that big of a baby. She has tons of dark curly hair that is just adorable.

Our sweet Makena, I can't believe she is finally here. What a special day it was.
