Gracy Lynn Cothren

Gracy Lynn was born September 28, 2013 at 9:28 am weighing in at 7lbs 12 oz!  My water broke at 1:25 am.  Phillip and I headed out to the hospital around 2:00.  We finally got in a room around 3:00. Shawnee mission was so busy and they had no rooms available.  I was dilated to 4 when I got there.   I got my epidural at 5:30 and delivered at 9:28 after only pushing for 8 minutes.  Longest 8 minutes of my life!  My epidural did not work and i felt everything.  I'm so happy that everyone was able to be there.  Lisa, was my biggest supporter.  I'm not sure I would've been able to do it without her.  She never left my side the entire time.  Carolyn was even able to be there even though Bo was in the hospital.  She made it just in time.

We had a ton of visitors.  We want to thank everyone who visited us in the hospital and at home.  We are finally settled in and getting used to having another little one in the family!

Most importantly I'm thankful for the way our little guy reacted to seeing Gracy for the first time.  Brody walked in and asked where his baby sister was and I said...she's right here.  Phillip picked Brody up and Brody said....awwww, she looks just like me.  I instantly had tears in my eyes.  I knew that we were going to be okay!!!!!
