Our little girl is finally here! The day went smoothly with no complications.
This is my last pregnant picture at 39 weeks, the morning of the induction.
I had to be at the hospital at 7:00 a.m.
I had visitors throughout the day, including Hudson. He wasn't too fond of seeing me in the bed hooked up to the machines. He was ready to see his sister and she wasn't here yet.
This is the break down of how the labor went. I changed rooms at one point, so I have added the rest of the day.
4:15 4-5 cm
5:15 9 cm
5:35 10 cm
5:45 started pushing
6:14 time of delivery
I was starting to think it was going to be a repeat of Hudson's birth (18 hours from start to birth). The doctors and nurses kept telling me if I made it to 4 cm, I would go fast after that. It was just taking a little while to get to 4 cm and I was getting a little discouraged. I tried to hold out on the epidural because I didn't want it to slow down the labor. I endured for as long as I could and I was almost to 4 cm when I got it. Sure enough, after 4 cm it went way faster than I thought! I didn't have to push much for Hudson because he needed to come out and forceps were used. For Gianna, I had to do some work to get her out.
8 lbs, 10.4 oz and 22 inches long! I never thought I would have had this size baby. She is the same length as Hudson was at birth, he weighed 7 lbs 11 oz.
Gianna and I meeting up close
Hudson came to meet her and after he heard her cry he left out and played in the hall. Over the next 2 days, he really took to her and loves his sissy very much.
We are now a family of four
