After many days of contractions, I finally had the "one" where I knew it was time to head to the hospital. On Sunday night, we called Mom to come over to stay with Will so we could go to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital around midnight and I got an epidural about 2 hours later. That was a beautiful thing! We actually had time to take a quick cat nap! At about 6:00 a.m. I was 8 centimeters dilated and 100% effaced. I knew the baby could come at any minute but we had to wait for the doctor to get there around 7:00 a.m. The doctor ran into the room with soaking wet hair and I pushed 3 times and she was out (sunny side up).We are so happy that are healthy baby girl is finally here! She made her entrance into the world on Monday, February 23rd @ 7:30 a.m. She weighed in at 6lbs. 4oz. and was 19 inches long. Her big brother is not quite sure about her yet but we think he'll warm up.
