Lilly Elise Garner was born on March 27, 2009 6 lbs. 8 oz 19 inches 100% loved 
Thursday evening around 10:45 my water broke. Trent and I headed to the hospital after calling a friend to come stay with the girls. We get to the hospital and I am telling everyone I see that I want an epidural. Once they get me all situated, ie get changed, put in the IV, draw blood, etc, the nurse checks to see how far along I am. I am at 1cm. I was at a 1 at my last 2 doctors appointments. They tell me the doctor has to see me before I can get an epidural, again I tell them that I go quickly. Awhile later, I ask the nurse when I am going to get checked again, I am told about an hour, I convince them to check me in 1/2 an hour. At this point I am at a 5. They call the doctor to come to the hospital. Needless to say, I didn't get my epidural, by the time the doctor arrived, I was pushing. The baby was face up which made her the hardest one to get out, I kept pushing and pushing and wondering why she wasn't coming. At 3:20 am Lilly Elise Garner was born. She weighed 6 pounds 8 oz and was 19 inches long. She is super cute and we are so glad she made it safely here.
