She's HERE!
Ryan and I welcomed the 3rd of our children this week!
Shaylin McKell Bergen was born Thur morning at 2:49am and she weighed 7lbs 4ounces.
Tues I had a DR's appt where he told me I was at a 3 and he stripped my mebraines. Labor contractions started that night and we almost went to the hospital. I labored all day Wed (mind you, Ryan was gone at work and Brady was fussy with a 103 degree fever-nice timing...) at home. By 6pm the pain was more than I could stand, and Ry and I took off to have our baby! Upon arrival, I was dilated to a 7 and 100%effaced. I was given a room and an epidural. They broke my water at midnight, and gave me some pitocen to speed things up. They had to stop my labor for about 4 hours while I was given a dose of anti-biotics, so at midnight they started things up again, and at 2:45 I began pushing. At 2:49 Shaylin was born, I literally pushed three times and she was out!
At first she was silent and I was panicking, but shortly after she started wailing and screaming, all was fine.
We spent two days in the hospital and are home tonight. The kids LOVE their new sister! Alenna won't let Shaylin out of her sight, and Brady points and says, "baby!"
Another link in the chain of our Eternal Family has been added and we are so grateful for her!
We just love this lil lady!

I am soo happy for you guys. She is precious! You have such a beautiful family. I'm glad everything went well, and sorry to hear about the trying day prior. Lastly, thanks for keeping us updated. I love the blog!
WOW Good job on pushing! I was all proud of my 15 minutes of pushing but you blew me out of the water! You go girl!
Oh and she absolutely precious!
She is so pretty! She is a good mix. In some pics I think she looks like Brady but then I see Alenna in there too! haha Is that dark hair I see?? I can't wait to hold her!
If it's possible, I think she has even LESS hair than my other two kids!
