At 4:45am Thursday morning my water broke. We got to the hospital by 5:15. Nothing happened all day long. Melanie, John and I just hung out in my half room. My parents came with Kyla and Megan during the day, which was so nice. Through out the day they would ck her heart beat, usually it took a few tense minutes to find but they always found it. In the evening they gave me the stuff to start labor, I wasn't dilated. It started working with in 2 hours. I could only manage to labor for 1.5 hours, then I was done, after only getting to 3cm, I got an epidural. I love those things. :) After that, Melanie, John and I just crashed. So worn out. At 3:50am this morning I felt something 'weird' between my legs. Maybe a tube falling out, but no, it was Adeline. So we called my parents, and Trina Lewis to take pictures (She volunteers her services with 'Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep'.) (Thank you so so much for everything!) By 4am she was out, born still. 3 lbs. We spent the next few hours crying, taking pictures. It was so sad and hard but so beautiful and peaceful. Adeline had long eye lashed like her sisters and my nose. She is so perfect. After everyone left, it was just Adeline, John and I. So special. Her and I took a 1.5 hour nap together. I love her so much. After 7ish hours with her, the hardest thing was to let her go and leave the hospital without her.
Thank you everyone for letting me let our story and being apart of it. Adeline is the sweetest little angel. Thank you for your love, support and prayers.

Thank you for sharing those precious moments. God bless you and your family.
John and family,
We are so sorry for your loss. I cried my eyes out while I was reading about Adeline, we unfortunately know the pain that can only come with losing a child.
John I can't believe how much you are looking like your dad these days.
You will be in our prayers, when things are looking up I'd love to hear how you are doing.
