A Girl?! Are you kidding?

So I really am a big brother! People kept talking about this baby thing in mommy's tummy, which definitely had something going on with it, and finally it is here! Turns out, the much predicted boy (including a very sure mom and dad) is a girl! I have a little sister- Bo Adeline Coburn. She was born Tuesday morning at 3:13am and I have been totally pumped about her ever since. I can't quit kissing her, taking her her pacifier (which I call a "this") and I want to hold her every chance I get. I keep hearing mom tell God thank you for my attitude and behavior towards her but all I know is she is beautiful and doesn't cry too much.
You may think that my mom could have fixed her self up a little to meet my little sister for the first time but there is a story behind that. Monday evening about 11, Mom started noticing some uncomfortable contractions but she had been having uncomfortable things happening for a few days. When midnight rolled around the uncomfortable contractions were pretty painful and pretty much 5 minutes apart. She went and woke up my dad who said, "It is not time yet- go call your doctor and talk to someone." So a little bit of doubt crept into her mind and she waited another 30 minutes in which the contractions were definitely 5 minutes apart and toe curling. She called the doctor and the answering service said it would take 20 minutes for her to call back. Mom walked into their bedroom, hit dad and said, "Get up and get your stuff together." Thankfully, he didn't argue but staggered out of bed.
On the way to the hospital, which is a good 45 minutes away, the contractions would alternate one hard one and then an easier one and were from 5 to 3 minutes apart. Mom was convinced they would get to the hospital and be told that she had dilated to a whole 2 centimeters but that would not be the case. They got to the labor and delivery room and were told that mom was dilated to a 5 1/2. The nurse asked if she would like an epidural and mom quickly said yes. So, the nurse came in with a stack of papers for mom to sign between contractions and once finished the nurse checked her one more time to see for progress. Turns out she was at a nine and the atmosphere in the room instantly changed. Iv's were being quickly placed, doctors were being called and then her water broke. She kept asking for her epidural but the room would become uncannily silent when the plea came and finally a nurse broke the news to mom that no pain medication would be available. The only way to lose the pain would be to breath through the contractions. Mom's reaction was Christian like on the outside but she has since asked God for forgiveness for the inside thoughts toward everyone in the room including my dad. The nurse kept telling mom to breathe and not push and mom politely told the nurse, "I'm sorry but I can't not push:;I AM PUSHING!" The doctor that was to delivery my sister was still not there yet so the nurses grabbed something called the house doctor who dad refers to as the catcher and after 5 pushes and 45 minutes of being at the hospital my sister came into the world.
Mom lay in shock to the current events and then thought dad was teasing when he kept telling her it was a girl. She was sure he was looking at the wrong baby. My grandparents (who look really good for 3 in the morning) were equally shocked when given the news but of course, Poppa said he knew it was a girl all along.
Now we are all home and doing really, really well. We have had lots of visitors, fabulous food and fun with family. Bo hasn't woke me up once and welcomes all my attention.:)
There are plenty more pictures to come so enjoy a true blessing and gift from God! He is good to the Coburn family.
