Baby Teer is here!

Well after what seemed like a month of sickness and contractions (only about 10 days of sickness with 5 1/2 weeks of false labor), I went into labor this morning at 4am.  This baby decided to come in a mad rush.  Bryleigh was born at 5:33am after arriving at the hospital at 5:25am.  Yes, that is only 8 minutes after arriving at the valet area at the hospital!  On the way, we were about 5 minutes out and I told Dave he needed to get there now and it was a good thing!!  Dave sped up, turned on the car's flashers and cars in front of us actually moved out of our way!  We arrived at the front door only to find no one...literally.  Dave couldn't even find a wheelchair to get me inside.  He came back to the car and started to make me walk.  THANKFULLY, the valet showed up and got a much needed wheelchair.  When we rolled off the elevator, a nurse came out from behind her station and said "follow me" as if she already knew who we were.  We got to the L&D room and everything was already set up!  The doctor was already there too (which is a miracle since I had to wait on her to deliver Caillyn). 

I got settled into the L&D room and the rest is history...probably the fastest history ever!  There was no time to even insert my IV's.  This was nerve-wracking as I had tested positive for the Group B Strep earlier in the pregnancy and Bryleigh needed anitbiotics from my IV to better protect her frail immune system.  So now we are trusting God even more to protect her!  She's had a few more tests than normal but she appears to have no signs of an infection! 

Bryleigh has been a trooper through all the poking and prodding.  She's now with me in the room and we are enjoying getting to know her better! 

She's our biggest girl!  She came out a whopping 8 lbs, 8oz and 20 3/4 in long.  Her sisters are already fighting over turns to hold and love on her!  She is definitely loved greatly by all!  Here are a few pics of our precious blessing. 

Thank you, Lord, for such a smooth delivery of your perfect gift!  Please give us the strength and wisdom to be the parents she needs to help her develop into your faithful, committed servant.
