We got ready and went to the hospital around 8:00pm. I wasn't in labor yet, so they started me on Pitocin. After an hour or so, I got my epidural and peacefully fell asleep. They woke me up about 1:00am because the baby's heart rate was dropping with each contraction. They decided to check me to see where I was at and to make an action plan. Luckily I was fully dilated. The doctor came in, I pushed 3 times, and our beautiful baby girl was born at 1:30am. Things couldn't have gone better. She weighed 6 pounds 7.5 ounces.
We couldn't be more excited to have this new little angel join our family. The kids have been SO good and they love their little sister a ton. They both could sit and hold her all day long. I love watching all 3 of them together. It melts my heart! There is something so amazing about the sweet spirit that a new baby brings into a home. I couldn't be happier!
Introducing Alivia Rae Ingersoll

We haven't seen her eyes much yet, she is a sleepy head (and I'm not complaining!!!). Here is a little glimpse of Alivia saying hello to the world

Wow! Congratulations! :D I'm so happy for you. Alivia is gorgeous. Way to go, Mama. (And your labor sounds awesome!)
Oh, I am so happy for you! I'm going to have to try that positive energy thing some time, maybe my babies won't be so huge. She is beautiful and looks so sweet, congratulations!
She is so precious! I love the name that you picked! Perfect! Congrats!
Lauren Lauren Lauren...... Remember when you were visiting, and we had the "name coversation"? You told me I didn't have to worry about you stealing my names because you would never use an A name again. WHAT??? Alivia Rae with an A??? That's the exact name I told you. SAD!!!!!!!! I might have just cried a little.....
Oh my sweet beautiful Alivia. Ask Ammon...I cried all the way through the pictures. She is precious and so is her mom! Lauren, you are beautiful in your "just had a baby" pictures! I love you all and can't wait to be there! Thanks for blogging! What an amazing little family...you truly are all a mother could wish for.
Love Grandma Cindi RAE...my first person truly named after me!
Oh by the way...one more thing...that is a darling daddy and his girls..love you And!
She is beautiful Lauren! Congratulations!! I love the name choice too!
I just wanted to publicly apologize to Andrea for stealing her name. just so you know, Olivia was never on my name list AND I swore I would not use an "A" name this time. But little Avery can be convincing. She came up with olivia on her own and really wanted to use it. She also said that it had to start with an "A" because her and Andrew start with an "A". I went through my entire list of names trying to see what fit and Alivia is the one that felt right.I hope you can forgive me!!!
Congrats! You look so awesome, and your family is so beautiful. I'm impressed that you are already up and blogging. And, I agree with Ammie, your birth story sounds so marvelous... sleeping until you start pushing??? Oh, and I love that you are keeping with the "A" theme!
Oh she is SO cute! Congrats to you! I am so happy she came early for you. I hope the transition to three beautiful children goes great for you. Your pictures are incredible by the way!
WOOHOO!! I'm so happy she's here! She's so adorable and the kids look so happy that's she finally arrived :) CONGRATS!
Congrats, Ingersoll Family! She is beautiful. Sounds like everything went as well as it could! Can't wait to meet her!
I'm so glad things went well for you. I had no idea you had your baby. Blake isn't very good at informing me about important things that happen. You look great for just having a baby!!! What a cute family. I can't believe she was only 6.75 pounds. She looks bigger than that. Blake probably didn't tell me about a little baby because he knows what I'm starting to think about:) Newborns are just so darn cute though and you are right about the sweet spirit they bring into the home. Such a strong feeling of peace, amid the chaos of this world. Congrats, and call if you need a break.
Wait just a minute there.....are you sure this is the name? No changing? Just kidding, congrats you guys!
-Marshall, Your favorite step-bro
Congrats! She is adorable! You have such a cute family. We are so happy for you and I love the name. I will admit she kind of makes me baby hungry! :) We love you all and I will have to try the positive energy next time around!
CONGRATS!! I got all choked up reading this. How tender.. I know all this sickness I'm going through will be worth it. I LOVE LOVE the name! SHe's SO CUTE! Send some girl vibes my way ;)
Oh my gosh she is so cute. I love all the pictures. What a good looking family. you look way too cute for just having a baby in that picture with the nurses. You are soooo beautiful. Congrats and Love you guys :)
I can't wait to see her! I could just scream! She is SOOOO Perfect! (This is my first comment ever but I couldn't help myself.)
Lauren she is beautiful. Congrats. Can't wait to meet her :) You look wonderful in the pics too. What a beautiful family. Love, Aunt Julie
She is soooo cute!!! COngrats you guys! I am so happy for you and you are sooo lucky she came early!! I love the name as well!!
yay! She is beautiful, congrats! Come January I am going to start employing that power of positive thinking idea! And I love that Avery was invovled with the naming.
She's so cute!!! Congratulations!! I love the name and you probably just made Avery's life by basically letting her choose it. You're family is adorable!
Oh, and let me just say I think it's really rude and childish to publicly complain about name stealing. Everyone knows the early bird gets the worm.
Ah! She is so precious. We're so happy for you guys! Good luck with any adjustments :)
I love your story! What a beautiful name for an adorable baby girl. I hope you guys are all doing well. Congratulations!
She is beautiful and I love her name. Congrats on the postitive thoughts, I'll have to remember that. I sure miss you taking our pictures, you are super talented.
