Chloe Grace Sutton
5lbs 13oz
17in long
She came about 3 weeks early but everything went great. I started timing contractions about 5:30am on Monday and they were 5 minutes. About 2 hrs later they were 2-4 minutes. We waited until about 9, then we took off for the hospital. We got in the room about 9:30am and I was 2 1/2 cm. An hour later I was 5 1/2 cm so they decided to keep me. I got hooked up to an IV and off we went. I progressed fairly well. I did stall out between 7-9cm...it seemed like forever. Once I got to 9 1/2cm my body was ready for this little girl to come out. My water didn't break until I did a trial push at 9 1/2cm to see if I could push past the last 1/2cm. Needless to say it was about 3 more contractions and she was out. I didn't even really push because the dr was still getting set up when her head came out...the contraction pushed her out. Josh and I were both shocked she was a girl...but so happy. She is beautiful and healthy. I was luckily able to go through the whole thing w/out any pain medication. It was extremely hard at the end but totally worth it.
Awesome picture me before Chloe decided to enter the world.
Don't I look happy:)
Just minutes after. She was/is so tiny. I guessed she was 5lbs 12oz. Dr. Ohlhausen thought she would be closer to 6lbs. Mom is always right...even though I was 1oz off:)
Mallory's 1st time holding Chloe. She is already a baby hog. She is adjusting well. Thank goodness my mom will be here until Monday to help us all transition to a bigger family.

I took this today. Chloe is doing so good. She is nursing great...just painful for me. She is a little jaundice, but we don't have to give her any sunlight treatments. Stay tuned for more updates.
