We had a baby!!!
We had a baby!!!
Drew Alivia joined the world!
We arrived at the hospital at 5am to be induced.
They started me on an iv and I was on pitocin by 6:30am.
Dr Gates came in a little after 7am and said he'd be back around 9 to break my water.
I was surprised because I didn't expect him to be in until mid morning- little less break my water by 9!!
And wow was my pitocin working.
I went from 2cm (what I was when I first got to the hospital) to a 4 1/2 then to a 9 1/2 all within hours.
Baby Drew was in a hurry!
I had my epidural early so I was a happy gal!

Emma and Drew in their matching outfits.
Baby Drew is a lot smaller than we thought she'd be.
The outfit that I brought for her to wear home was way too big.
I had to roll her sleeves up 3 times.
