Well, the morning started out good. We were able to go into the hospital at 6AM. BUT..., I am GBS+ so they had to get in 2 doses of antibiotics before they started anything, because they were too afraid that I would go too fast. I was all ready dilated to a 4 when we arrived and being my 3rd, and considering my other 2 weren't that long either, I don't blame them. But if we wouldn't have had to wait for the antibiotics, we could have had her in no time. So finally at 1130 they came and broke my water. And OH MOTHER was there A LOT in there. It was pretty comical actually. It went clear up my back, off both sides of the bed and there was a waterfall that occurred making a HUGE lake on the floor. The responses of the residents I think is what made it so comical mainly. I did warn them though! :) I then got my epidural and again, like with when I had Livy, it wasn't working. I was still feeling the contractions and they were getting harder and harder, and I was starting to feel pressure down there. I asked Jon many times to make sure there wasn't a head hanging out down there. They finally gave me a bolus and I became numb. We could have had the baby probably around 2pm, but they were starting to deliver, well actually just push with the lady next door. And it t-o-o-k f-o-r-e-v-e-r! Finally it was our turn and I pushed four times and the baby was out! We had her at 3:06PM, she weighed 9 pounds 7 ounces, and was 20 and 3/4 inches long! We stuck with Sofia Lorraine, and she is the cutest thing!
Jaedon and Livy were SO excited to come and see their baby sister!
We are now a family of 5! Kind of weird to think of.
Jaedon is such a good big brother. He always wanted to hold her, and he actually did really well with her.
And of course Livy had to hold her if Jaedon held her!
Arriving home...

OK Mel even though I am sitting just 5 feet from you I am going to make a comment. You didn't tell them that you are the pioneer woman and walked home today while Jon carried Sofia in her car seat. I will have to post the pictures on my blog because how many women can say that they walked to the hospital to deliver and then walked back home when they were finished. She is beautiful, and we are glad that every thing went so well.
Mel and Jon,
Congratulation!!!! We are so excited for all of you. Seeing the pictures makes me baby hungry again, even though I have a cute little 10 month old. How exciting. The pictures are so cute, and Mel, I agree with your mom. You go girl!!!
