So Ashlyn will be a week old tomorrow and I'm just now getting around to posting this. sorry. I've been busy. Anyways, here is her birth story.....
We had scheduled a c-section a couple of months or so ago for Tuesday, July 13. Since she didn't make any effort to come early, it looked like we were sticking to that date. Mom and Grandma Harp came Monday evening to stay at our house and watch Carter while Brad and I were in the hospital. 
night before delivery - 39 weeks
Brad and I had to be at the hospital at 5:30 am on Tuesday. I got up at 3:30 am to shower and get last minute things packed. Surprisingly we were in the car and ready to go at 5:00. We got checked in at Labor & Delivery right at 5:30. They took us back to a room where I changed and then they started an IV filled with some sort of electrolites (they said it was kind of like Gatoraid). The prep stuff was done right around 7:30 am. They walked me back to the OR where they gave me a spinal (ouch). I got all good and numb and then they let Brad in. At 7:54 am we had our baby girl! I was starting to feel a little dopey from the meds by this point so all I remember is that she didn't cry as much as Carter and she was a lot smaller than him. 
Here are her stats:
