Welcome Ella Joyce Rosendaul

 Our sweet baby girl decided she couldn't wait till her due date to enter this world, which was in another 9 days.  Ella was born on June 16th at 9:35 pm.  The day started out like any regular Saturday, I did have a little cramping but didn't think any thing of it.  While Scott and I were getting ready to leave the house to go to the Farmers Market and a car show after, this is when the action started.  I walked into the bathroom to brush my teeth when I felt a "pop" down low with some cramping right after.  I turned to Scott to tell him what I had felt, a minute later I had concluded that the "pop" I felt was my water breaking.  We called our Dr. and she instructed us to leave for the hospital immediately.  By the time we left the house my contractions were three minutes apart.  We arrived at the hospital around 10 am and they didn't have a room for us, so we waited in the waiting room for a few minutes.  Then they moved us into a temporary room for a period of time before we were taken to our delivery room.  Once there the first part of my labor went pretty quick, 1 cm to 10 cm in about four hours.  While pushing they found out Ella was flipped and wouldn't come out in the position she was in.  So for about 4 hours (plus or minus) we worked on getting her turned, this entire time I was pushing with each contraction.  Finally all our hard work paid off, Ella was in the correct position.  By this time I was exhausted, and my contractions where getting further apart and became less strong.  The doctors then introduced pitocin into my IV to help me through the last part of labor.  It did the trick, after about one to one and a half hours later our beautiful daughter Ella came into this world at 9:35 pm.  She weighed 8lb 7oz  and was 19.5 inches in length.  She is perfect and beautiful, even with the bruising on her face and head.  (This was from me pushing while she was in the wrong position.)  She has a head full of dark hair and grey eyes at this point.  We see parts of both of us in her and are excited to see how she changes and who's features she has.  Ella is the love of our life, we find ourselves just staring at her while she sleeps.  Here are a few of Ella at the hospital, more to follow.
