Sydney Addison is here!

H&W05 · August 2010

She was born Wednesday night, but I haven't had much time to post.

I went to the doctor on Tuesday, my due date and my blood pressure was slightly high, so they went ahead and scheduled an induction for the next morning, Wednesday.

I went in at 730am, got the pitocen, basically just sat around until the contractions got really bad around 4. Got a great epidural ( Yes ) and started pushing at 730pm. She ended up being upside down, which no one ever realized, so it took longer than expected to deliver. She was born at 9:04pm, 8lbs11oz and 21 inches. Things are very overwhelming right now, but she is so cute. My heart just melts every time I look at her.

Congratulations! She is so beautiful. It's definitely an overwhelming experience - thanks hormones! Just take it hour by hour. That's really all you can do sometimes the first weeks! Oh - and definitely take a nap when you can
