Our little surprise has arrived! :)

MosersGirl

Audrey Frances was born at 4:26 pm on Thursday, January 22nd. 

I posted a long birth story from the hospital yesterday but it was deleted.  I will try to post one again tomorrow.  Let me just say that after six hours of pitocin contractions, I gave in to the epidural and she was born 90 minutes later!  I am proud of myself for making it for the majority of the labor without the epi, but after six hours I had only made it to four centimeters and was beyond exhausted.  My mom and DH had helped me get through the contractions the best they could, but the nurse kept upping the dosage of pit since it wasn't working well.  The doctor told me it would likely be another eight hours.  Imagine our surprise when I was ten centimeters an hour later and after 20  minutes of pushing out she popped!

Having her was the most wonderful experience of our lives.  Watching DH with her has melted my heart.  We haven't slept in days, but that's ok.  We're loving every minute of being with her.  Here are a few pics of our amazing little girl.

Congratulations!  She is very cute!  I'm glad that you went ahead for the epi.  Those pitocin contractions have a tendancy to get brutal.  Can't wait to read the whole story!

Congratulations!  What a beautiful little girl!  I agree, good call with the epi!  I know I wish now I would have done it sooner!  Same thing happened - once I let my body rest, the baby came almost flying out!  Enjoy your time with each other!

Congrats! She is so cute! Don't worry about having an epi, my plan is to go natural, but I don't think I'd be able to do it if I was on pitocin.

Congratulations, April!  She is beautiful, and I love her name.  Very pretty!  I had an epidural after going on Pitocin as well...totally the right decision. You are so lucky you only had to push for 20 minutes.    Enjoy your little girl!!
