Baby brooklynn

Introducing Brooklynn Alice Dodd!!!!!

well i am a little late in writing this but here is our sweet little girl! I was induced on Friday October 8Th at 2 AM. i thought that day would never get here fast enough and now i wish i would have slowed down a little because it all went very quick! they had to watch her and me very carefully. Brooklynn's heartbeat would drop down from 150 to 70 every time i had a contraction. she had to have internal monitors to measure her. They had to stop the pitocin for a while because they were worried about her heartbeat. Then it feels like all of a sudden she was ready to come out. I was very luckily to not only have my husband but my wonderful family including my mom, my mother in law, my sister and my cousin Katie!! She came into this world at 11:53 that day, weighing 6 pounds 5 ounces and 19 inches long. what a great day. i knew from the moment i looked in her eyes she knew i was her mommy. words can not express how much i love her. i got to hold her skin to skin for over a hour before anyone else held her. the best feeling in the world! i am so proud to be her mom!!! here are some pictures from the hospital.
