Ashley Leone Warren
7 lbs. 15 oz.
19 1/2 in. long
Ashley came one week early and is as healthy as can be! My delivery went really well. At my midweek check up, I was dialted to a 5 and 80-90% effaced, so we were nervous about how fast my labor would go when it got going, but everything worked out just great. I woke up at 1:20am with some minor contractions 6-7 minutes a part, so we monitored them for an hour and then called my mom to come on over. We got to the hospital at 3:15am and I was at a 6. They gave me an epidural at 4:15am and then broke my water at 4:50am. We thought my contractions would really pick up after breaking my water, but they actually declined to like 10-12 minutes a part. I was so worried, but at 5:45am, she gave me the tiniest dose of pitocin and within 35 minutes, I was dialted to a 10 and she was ready. After 3 pushes, she was here at 6:51am! So from the time I got to the hospital to her birth was only 3 1/2 hours. We are so grateful everything went so well and we are so grateful to have our beautiful baby girl!
The proud Daddy
It was so nice to be able to have the kids come and visit at the hopsital this year. The boys are so proud and love their new little sister.
Going Home!
Ashley's claim to fame:
While we were at the hospital, they were doing a Period of Purple Crying (shaking baby prevention) campaign. The Daily Herold wanted to get a picture of a baby in a purple hat to go along with their article. The nurses chose Ashley to be the model baby for the photo shoot:) It was so sweet and she did great! I can't believe that at one day old, she already has had her claim to fame. H/H!
Let's just hope that it is not an omen that she will be a colicky baby!!
We are so grateful for Ashley. She is so peaceful and calm and we love her dearly already.

Congratulations!! It must be SO fun to finally have a girl! Don't worry...you'll get the hang of 3 kids pretty quick. I think 1 to 2 was harder than 2 to 3!
