Welcome Isabel Rae Murri!

I can't find any words to describe my feelings when I first saw my daughter. Surely I have already forgotten how tired I am and how much pain I have experienced to bring her into this world. Seeing her brought so much joy that I coudn't stop myself from crying because my heart is full of joy! I can't wait to hold her close to me and kiss her. I am now a mother! What a great blessing from our Heavenly Father. I have so much more to learn but I am excited to learn them all. It so cute to watch Blair stare at Isabel, the nurse even told him, "you could hold her now, she's your daughter." I am so exhausted but so happy. Here are some pictures of Isabel.

Crazy day!

Today, I don't really feel that well, I wanted to call in sick but I decided to go to work hoping that working might help. Well, between 9:30-10:00, I was crying because I don't feel right. I know I was having contractions but trying to convince myself that it's just practice contractions but it's really getting painful. My patients were all telling me I should go home and rest but I'm a little stubborn. I told them that I am fine, I just need to walk it out so I will feel better. My boss and the rest of my co-workers were telling me to go home. Anyways, I tried calling Blair because I don't think I could take it anymore and I don't think I can even drive myself home but unfortunately no answer from him. I expected it because I know they're in the pool, working out. Then, I sent him text messages, still nothing. I don't know how many times I tried to call and text him. Must have been a thousand, at least that's how I feel. So I think around noon, Blair finally got my messages and went to pick me up from work. He took me straight to the Naval Hospital to make sure that everything is alright.

As I was heading out to meet Blair, I told everyone "see you guys tomorrow." Their respond was, we don't think so!

At the Naval Hospital, the nurse checked if I'm already dilated. Yes, I am 1/2 cm dilated and everything looks great. We stayed for a little over two hours there. They gave me some IV fluid and monitor me and my baby then discharge us home with some instructions.

Tonight, Blair have Elder's Quorum Presidency Meeting at our house. Actually, I have Primary Presidency meeting tonight as well but I called Sis. Angus and left her a message that I wont be coming tonight. Anyways, something happen while they were having their meeting, I have a strong feeling my baby is coming soon.
