Lilyan Marlene Searle was born on 10/11/12, pretty cool birthday to have and it makes it easier for us to remember haha. We named her middle name after Brocks Grandma. She actually had the name of London for a day, but after calling her that all day we realized that it just didnt fit her, so we decided on the name Brock really loved and it fits her perfectly! So pretty much Brock is better at naming our kids because I'm pretty sure he came up with Annabelle too :).
I was induced wednesday night, and by thursday morning no progress had been made, so they upped my medicine to make the contractions stronger.........this was the most horrible experience of my life, i'm sure everyone who's had a baby can say at some point they didnt think they would survive through the experience..that was me from 9am-1pm. At that point I had only dialated to a 1 and so my doctor gave me an epidural....Heaven!!! I dont understand how anyone can go through labor without it! At 6pm I was only dialated to 1.5, yeah it was frustrating. My doctor told us that she thought we should do a C section because she didnt think I would progress anymore, she even broke my water. half an hour later brock and my mom were dressed up and I was on the operating table. half an hour after that Lily was born! craziness, i'm thankful for epidurals, my doctor, and medication :) overall i'm feeling pretty good, makes me so sad that i'm not allowed to lift annabelle for 2 weeks. i'm also very thankful for my mom and dad, they are letting us live with them while we wait to move into our house and so i'm so lucky to have my mom to take care of me during this time. she took this week off work and has totally been taking care of annabelle since i can't. i'm so blessed to have such amazing family. i want to say a special thank you to all the family and friends who have been helping us paint the house, shingle the house, and everything else we've had to do!
