She's here!
Her birth story: Early Saturday morning, I started having contractions while lying awake in bed at 6:30am. When I knew they were 3 minutes apart, I took a shower and Terry got himself and the girls ready. We arrived at the hospital at 9:00 am and I was 4 cm dilated. My contractions quickly began to worsen, and I immediately started asking for my epidural. My nurse gave me a saline i-v to prep me for the doctor to okay my epidural. With each contraction, I knew my water was breaking more and more. After checking me, the doctor said there was no time for the epidural and that I was about to have the baby right then! I screamed and cried and yelled, just like in the movies (poor Terry, I think I scared him), and shortly after arriving at the hospital, I gave birth to her at 10:16 am. After the most exciting hour of our lives, we now have the most perfect little angel, Tessa Rose Smith. She weighed a whopping 6 pounds 12 ounces and was 19 inches long.
