Dayna came off her meds at 9:00 AM yesterday. She went to the doctor and was checked. They said it would take 6 hours for her meds to wear off. Sure enough, we went in the hospital at 12:00, they sent us home around 2:00 PM because her contractions were only 6 minutes apart and she was only 4 cm dilated :). So we went home. But around 3:00 PM her contractions picked up and she began to have them every 2 min, and they were a lot stronger and painful. We got the hospital around 4:45 and she was in extreme pain. They were full. By the time the doc saw her she was 9 cm and he said Let’s have this baby! She started labor at 7:00 and ended when baby Ireland was born at 7:56.

Ireland Faith Ice was 6 lb 6 oz and 19 ½ inches long. Dayna is still recovering and has more pain than she expected. Ireland slept through the night but she didn’t. Ireland had low blood sugar at first but the Lord allowed that to quickly rise in the next couple of hours.

Praise the Lord for 36 weeks. We were praying specifically the Lord would allow Dayna to go to 36 weeks and the Lord showed His grace on the very day. Ireland was more 36 wks and 0 days.

Here are some pictures and a video. Sorry I couldn’t load all of them up. I had some trouble. We will definitely put more up later.
