She made it!

July 17th, 2007

E is here… after a very rough labor that resulted in a C-section.  Mom and baby are doing fine… mom and dad are very exhausted.  E didn’t arrive until 4:23am today… unfortunately, I was not able to be at the hospital when she was born.  I can’t wait to meet her!

E’s delivery has resulted in a retelling of all the worst labor stories out there… several people close to me have had horrible experiences (including me!).  I’m nurturing a firm opinion that induction of labor is NOT a good idea if you are just past your due date and you are FINE.  Give it a few more days, girls, and make it easier on yourselves and your baby.  If you haven’t gone into labor yet, it’s probably because you aren’t ready!
