Our little girl has finally arrived! She was born on January 23 at 10:10am. She weighed 8lbs 12oz and was 20in long and she even had hair! She's BEAUTIFUL! Here is a quick run down of the events leading up to her birth. I wasn't scheduled to be induced until the 27th so I got really excited when I started having contractions on the 21st. They lasted all night and went on through out the day. I didn't know if I was in "active" labor because they weren't getting any more intense (probably not) but for peace of mind I went to triage with a friend of mine to be checked. Well, it was confirmed nothing really was happening but the nurse recommended we walk around for an hour and then come back. My friend Jenna took me on a vigorous walk and by the time we came back I was a dilated to a three! Since I needed antibiotics before she was born I was admitted! Yippy! Seth was surprised when I called to tell him to drop off the kids and head to the hospital. It was a very long night and after two epidurals our little girl made her entrance. Thankfully, she is very healthy and fun to stare at. Her look reminds me of a newborn Charlie but with darker hair (dark for our family). Her name didn't stick until after she was born. Seth had always liked "Lucy" and it seemed to fit. Her middle name is Jane after three incredible aunts.
The boys are adjusting ok, thankfully my mom is flying in tonight! Thanks for all the phone calls and well wishes, we feel very blessed.
