Announcing Amelia Ann

She is here!

Monday, October 13

I had a feeling something might happen as soon as I lost my mucus plug over the weekend. I woke up around 1:30 am and felt some leaking. I got up and realized I was having some contractions. I didn't think they were all that strong or close so I didn't do a good job timing them (can we say denial). I started timing them around 3:30 and realized they were coming on quick and fast. I woke up Brian and we called his mom over. We arrived at the hospital around 5 am and I was already at 4.5 cm. Whoops! I guess I should have gone in a little sooner. Contractions were getting strong at that point in time so I got to experience the joys of labor pains.

Due to a communication issue with the doctor on call, she didn't get to St. Mary's until after 6 am. By then I was ready for an epidural but held off until I got to the OR. The surgery went well and we have a cute little girl on our hands.

Amelia has a full head of hair - even more than Allison has right now at almost 15 months.

Hopefully we will get pictures posted soon. Stay tuned.
