June 2, 3-It's a GIRL!!!

Jeff and I were so anxious for our baby to arrive. Finally, on June 2 (my due date) I realized the 'cramps' I'd been having all morning were coming every 6 minutes. Cramps-maybe not!

After speaking with the on call doctor, Jeff and I headed to the hospital around 7:30 pm. After being monitored and walking laps for an hour, we were sent home around 10 because I was only dilated to one (which I had been for several weeks). We spent three very uncomfortable hours at home before returning to the hospital at 1 am; this time I was dilated to 4 and admitted! Things progressed pretty quickly, and at 4:30 they told me I was ready to go...they just had to call the doctor in to the hospital.

Nora Claire was born at 5:41 am weighing 6lb 3.8 oz and was 20 inches long. She is so beautiful and is just perfect.
