Myla's Birth Story

Myla Mae Ames joined our family on August 13, 2013, her Uncle Devin's birthday! She weighed 7lbs 9oz and was 20.5 in long born at 8:43pm. Her birth story is about as text book, uneventful, induction as they come. Dr. Priebe was on call at the hospital I was delivering at 2 days before her due date, since I was ready to be done and really wanted him to deliver I opted to be induced. There aren't really too many details! Got to the hospital, hooked up to an antibiotic because I was Group B strep positive (didn't have that with the other 2) and then piticon. I got an epidural at a 4, those things are always amazing! With all 3 kids I have taken a while to progress, getting to a 5 takes around 6-7 hrs but then I go from a 5-10 in less than an hour. This one was no different! Around 7:30 Dr. Priebe checked me and I was a 5. Then around 8:15 I started to feel a lot of pressure, I knew it was time! From beginning of pushing until she was born was 12 min and 3 contractions! It was neat to have my sister Cami be able to be there, and my friend Kim taking pictures.











I love those first couple days in the hospital, nothing to do but snuggle a brand new baby!





Aunt Cami came to stay with us a week and she was an angel!!!


Myla and Mollie!
