The Millers: Katherine Elizabeth!

Katherine Elizabeth Miller arrived on May 15, 2014 at 3:30 pm. Oddly enough, each labor and delivery story of mine are fairly similar. We woke up, called the doctor, and went to the hospital around 7 am. Then each child was born around the same time too. Wade and Katie were born at 3:30 and William was born at 4:00 pm. On the morning of the 15th, I rolled over in bed and could feel that my water had broken. After getting up, there was no denying it. Luckily, my mom had come up the day before so she was able to stay with the boys and allow us to leave right away for the hospital. The day moved by rather slowly and painfree until they started the Pitocin around noon. The pain intensified very quickly but I ended up having to wait another hour and a half for the epidural. It was not fun! All morning I had been talking with the nurses and Mike and texting my friends but all of that stopped after starting Pitocin. Once I finally got the epidural, my blood pressure dropped to 70 / 40 at one point so the nurses had to give me more stuff to get my blood pressure under control. Finally, around 2:30 I told the nurse that I was feeling a lot of pressure and I thought she was ready to come out. Of course, I had to wait again. Around 3:30, the nurse wanted me to try one push so she could see where she was. She then called the doctor who must have been standing outside my door. When Dr. Wang got set up, I pushed 3 times and she was out.

She likes making faces!

The boys were excited to hold sister!

I fell! This is the thing that I had to ride from the bathroom to the hospital bed. About an hour after Katie and born, the nurse was helping me to the restroom. Right when I stepped into the restroom my right leg gave out and I went straight to my knee. Luckily, I only felt dumb and I wasn't hurt at all.
