Baby Sister aka Baby Girl (for the 1st 2 or 3 days of her life Ben didn't know her name since this is all we call her) has arrived. After 2 days at the hospital of being induced she arrived at 12:29am on Monday October 11. I spent the previous Friday at the hospital from 7:30am till 4pm being induced, and while it started contractions every 15min apart it didn't start 'active labor' so I was sent home and scheduled to return Sunday. So back in I went Sunday at 7:30am again for another attempt. Finally by around 9pm that night they classified it as active labor so I happily requested my epidural and felt nothing the rest of the night :) I was ready to deliver by 11pm (maybe earlier since I wasn't feeling a thing I don't know, but that's when the nurse checked me and discovered baby girl was ready to come out) but the doctor was doing a c-section so I was told to not push. No problem for me thanks to my wonnnderrrfulll epidural. Shortly after midnight the doctor came in and started getting ready for the delivery - and 3 pushes later there was our baby girl!! 7lbs-9oz and 19.5" long.
Already we can tell she is SO different then Benjamin - this girl SLEEPS!!!! She sleeps through the dog, ben, nursing...I keep waiting for it to end (yes I'm pessimistic) but I am currently LOVING it!
