Mary Clayton is here!















Finally, I am getting aroung to posting about our new addition! She made her enterance into this world on Feb. 3, 2010 at 9:05pm, weighing in at 8 lbs 0oz and 21 inches long. I was in labor for about 14 hours....made it until about 3 pm when I got the epidural...lifesaver!! I dont know what ever made me not want to have one. I thought that since I ran a marathon that I could definately do the natural childbirth thing. I was very wrong. Maybe one could do it if they had a fast labor...since mine was so slow i could not but do not feel bad about it one bit. It was long waiting for her to get here but when it came time to push i pushed two times and she was out! Thank you Lord for the fast delivery after the LONG labor! She came out and was just perfect! She breastfed right away and we are still doing very good with that, although it is also very hard. She is a good baby, she cries when she is hungry and screams as soon as she wets her diaper..she will not tolerate it. So, needless to say we go through a ton of diapers. Even with limited sleep it is wonderful being a parent. We lover her so much! God is great!
