I have completely jumped the blogging ship this year. And I have a pretty good excuse, but then again she's also a really good reason to blog! Hmmm...
So, finally a post about my baby girl.
Elsie joined our family on April 1st. Yes, April Fools Day, Heaven help me! My water broke at around 5 am, Nate rushed home from work, and we got to the hospital by 5:45(ish). Luckily Oliver was already sleeping at grandma's house, so we didn't have to worry about waking him up or calling anyone to come watch him. After we'd been admitted, checked, etc. they started pitocin because I wasn't really having contractions yet. My first epidural wasn't strong enough, so I had the anesthesiologist come back and boost it with the stronger drugs. I have so many friends that have gone natural, but that's just not my cup of tea, I didn't want to feel anything (I felt more than I wanted to with Oliver). And just that happened, I couldn't feel my contractions, I couldn't feel myself pushing, I couldn't feel a bit of my delivery. IT WAS SO EASY! So painless. Loved it!
My baby girl was born at 11:54 am. She was 8 lbs and 20 inches.
