Dempsie Lou Stewart

Our beautiful baby girl was born on February 7, 2013. Her name is Dempsie Lou Stewart! She was 6 pounds 14 ounces, 19 inches long, and was born at 2:15pm. She is So beautiful and we already love her so much!
By the time I got to 39 weeks I was ready to have this baby! I kept praying that she would come everyday, but I had to keep telling myself that she would come when she was ready. I decided to be induced....this was a really hard decision and I'm still not sure about the whole thing! I feel really guilty that I "made" her come and think that maybe I should have let her come on her own. Oh well! It's done and I did it. I'm not sure if I'll ever do it again with any of my other kids, ask me again when I'm 39 weeks with them and i might be singing a different tune!
The morning that i was scheduled to have her was crazy! I had to get up at 5am and call L&D to make sure that they had room for me and schedule a time to come in. They go first call first served. I actually called at 4:57am hoping that I was the first caller and was the second. My fear was that I would have to wait all day to get in. Luckily, they told me to be at the hospital between 7 and 7:15. When we got to the hospital they checked us in, started me on patosin and then the waiting game began.
