Introducing Abigail Elaine

[boefixepa]

Okay, the blessed day arrived ... well about a month ago, sorry it has taken me so long.

The labor was wayyyyy to long. 23 hours 10 minutes. Or there abouts. My water decided to break before my contractions really started, and thus the long labor. Really the first 10 hours I was so excited (big mistake) that I really didn't care. I wanted to go all natural and was handling the pain fine, but the stupid clock was against me, because of risk of infection due to the water breaking, that I had to get things moving, so I ended up with an epidural and pittosin (sp?). They only give you 24 hours before they want to do a c-section and I wanted to aviod that! But I made is about 20 hours with no pain meds. Hubby did pass out when I was getting the epidural, poor guy isn't good with things like that. We made sure he was sitting for the actual delivery. The delivery wasn't bad at all (I am sure the epidural made it much better). I push for not even 10 minutes and she came out screaming. Check out the hair!

Oh the stats:
7 lbs 8 oz 21 inches long Born 7:10 pm on 5/14/08
