Here are some of the many visitors that came to visit us and baby Presley in the hospital. She is definitely one loved baby! We can't get enough of her and all of these sleepless nights are totally worth it! Although I'm sure I may be singing a different tune in the nights to come haha. Right now I am just running off of adrenalin and I stay awake just staring at her she is so perfect! We love our little girl very much and are in awe that she is all ours. We are totally enthralled by her!

I'm trying to document everything so that my sister that is on a mission can stay in the loop and keep updated. She made me promise to post lots of pictures, so this is for you Britters! Love you and miss you like crazy!!

Presley Claire Robbins





Miss Presley Claire arrived to this earth at 3:53 pm on July 7, 2011, weighing in at 6 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 inches tall. She is perfect and absolutely beautiful! We are so in love with her and already can't imagine life without her.
The day started off at 8:00 am. We were scheduled to be induced so we made our way over to McKay Dee hospital and by 9:15 am they had me all checked in and started on pitocin. The pitocin jump started my contractions right away and labor was in progress! A little after 10:00 or so my doctor came in and broke my water. That right there really got things going and my contractions started getting stronger and more painful. After a couple hours, I was ready for the epidural! I was hoping that I was at least at a 4, but wasn't wanting to wait any longer! After the anesthesiologist came in and gave the epidural to me the nurse checked me and sure enough I was at a 4+ hooray! I was progressing right along! The epidural was great and helped so much with the contractions! I labored for another hour and the nurse came in to check me again and I was at a 7! Whahooo! Things were moving right along and I was getting more and more excited to meet this little girl! The next hour I was checked again and the nurse looked at me wide eyed and surprised and said, you are at a 10 and 100% effaced! We are ready to go! She called my doctor and within the half hour we were pushing! I pushed for 15 minutes and little Presley was out! We did skin to skin right away which was amazing! It was the most incredible feeling in the world. She was so precious and cuddled right up to me and calmed right down. Joel got to fulfill his dream and cut the cord! haha. Everything went perfect :)
She got a great APGAR score, a 9, and she passed her hearing test and all of her little exams. She is so sweet!
We absolutely love being parents and feel so blessed to have her in our lives. Labor went really good and was so smooth. I had my two very best friends with me through the whole thing, my mom and my sweet husband. I couldn't have asked for better coaches :) they were amazing and I'm so blessed to have them in my life. Thank you so much you two! It was a perfect day! :)
