She's HERE!!!!!

He's hooked already...she is his Princess!

A bit unsure of what is going on...she's our burrito baby :-)

So....you are the one who stole all my food for the last 9 months!

I'm a little proud of how sweet she is

Well, Jordan Deborah Helgerson has entered the world....look out everyone! She's gorgeous, wonderful & amazing. We love her so much already....we are amazed at how much you love someone you just met.

We arrived at the hospital at 7:30 a.m. did a ton of paperwork, got hooked up to the I.V., finally got our pitocin meds close to 9:00. I was dilated at 4 cm & 90% effaced. Things were cooking along, but not fast enough...we were antsy ;-) Dr. Holbrook broke my water a little before 12:00 p.m. After the water was broke I immediately asked for the epidural. I was doing so well before, but there was sooooo much pressure after that experience.

I started feeling a ton of pressure as if the baby was dropping...well, I was right we were already at 8 cm by 3:45 p.m & within a half hour we were at 10 cm. So, we started pushing & getting things going. Jordan was a bit stuck, her shoulders didn't want to come & the cord was around her neck. She was born at 5:15 p.m.

She has a lot of hair, it's dark brown. Her eyes are brown but have a hint of blue. She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz & 20 1/2 inches long. When she came out she wasn't screaming at all...as soon as she cried Nate & I lost it. We were so happy she was healthy & overwhelmed by how incredible this experience really is.

Now we are settled in to our room together....watching a little t.v. & just snuggling :-) It really has been the best experience in our lives & we are so excited to see what the future brings with us. She's too beautiful for words...Nate is in love!!!

Thanks again for all the love & support.
Love xoxo,
The Helgerson's
