And then there were 5!

Our precious little baby finally arrived!!!!

Clint is outnumbered! Although most people were sure it was a boy, Brinley and Trail got a little sister!!!! Brielle C Sampson (Her middle initial is for both Grandma's, Celinda and Cindy) arrived Friday August 21st at 12:39am. She weighed 8lbs and was 20in. She has tons of dark curly hair!! She looks a lot like Brinley did when she was born! I realized you have to be careful what you wish for. I was telling my Mom I wanted my water to break just so I would know I was in labor for sure and I wanted a faster labor than the 8 hours of my other 2. Sorry but every new mom has to share their story so here it is! Well Thursday night I went grocery shopping even though Clint said he would go in the morning, I just felt like I should get it done. Clint went hunting, so my friend Kari kindly watched the kids so I could go shopping. It's a good thing because when I got home and was putting groceries away I started getting contractions. With lots of urging from Clint (I didn't want to get sent home) we left for the hospital at 11:30pm and got to the hospital at 12:05. By that time my contractions had been 2 minutes apart for a while. I was dialated to a 6 1/2 cm. Not long after my water broke (wow that was scary) and I was an 8 1/2. I was anxiously asking for an epidural, but I had to have an IV first. Not long after my water broke I had the nurse check again and I was at 10 cm. Needless to say I didn't have time for an epidural, the doctor (mine was out of town so it was the on call doctor, but I didn't really care) walked in with his wranglers and carhartt shirt got his 2nd glove on and she was her. Once she decided to come she flew out! Clint screamed "It's a girl, it's a girl!!!" We are so lucky she is here and healthy. She gets lots of attention from Brinley and Trail! What a blessing and miracle!!!!
