At 2:21am on Wednesday, March 28, 2012, Baby Girl Dobbins #3 arrived. Her name is Ashtyn Belle Dobbins. Her middle name is after Scott's grandma, Flora Belle. She was 8 lbs 13 oz and 18 inches long. She looks just like her sisters did at birth. We think she's perfect. :0)
She was scheduled to arrive via C-section on Saurday, March 31st. As with all my kids, she had her own plan. I went to bed Tuesday night with no contractions or anything, and I woke up around midnight as my water was breaking. I called the doctor and Scott and I scrambled to get packed and ready. I was completely unprepared. By the time we got to the hospital, I was having major contractions and not enjoying it one bit. Luckily, it was pretty quick. I had a different doctor than planned, but he did a great job. Everything went as well as possible. By 6 am, we were in our room with our new baby girl.
Ashtyn is so sweet. She's snuggly and content most of the time. She's a very good little eater, just like her mama. :0) We didn't sleep much on Wednesday or Thursday night because she was a bit switched around. We came home Friday and we're already in a better routine. We got a good night's sleep last night and feel much better today.
Ryann and Avery were very excited to meet their sister on Wednesday afternoon. They were both gentle and loving. Friday, the jealousy settled in a bit for Avery. She's been a bit naughty and rough. It's an adjustment. She's trying to be a happy big sister. I think she's just a little bent out of shape right now.
Overall, things are going very well. We're incredibly blessed and grateful.
