Our baby daughter arrived at 5:05 AM on Sunday, February 15, 2009. She was 6 lbs. 4 oz. and 19 1/2 inches long. Jennifer's water broke on Saturday morning, but she didn't know it! (Can we say denial?) Eleven hours later, we headed for the hospital, and knew we wouldn't leave without a baby.
We had to be induced because contractions had not started. The pitocin made the contractions go from nothing to very painful. We were hoping for a drug-free labor and delivery, but at midnight, that went out the window with the epidural. Five hours and five minutes later, we had the most beautiful little girl handed to us!
We came home on Tuesday, February 17 and survived the first night without many problems, and the second night without much sleep. We are getting the hang of nursing, changing diapers, and running on fumes, but wouldn't have it any other way.
Here are some pictures of our bundle of joy! We will try to update as often as she lets us!
