We are so very excited to finally welcome our sweet baby girl to the world! She was born on January 6 (the Epiphany!) at 2:15pm. She weighed in at 8 pounds, 3 ounces! (1 pound, 2 ounces more than Greg!) She was 21 inches long. (The exact same as her big brother!) Here are some pictures from her special birthday!
Baby Greg meets Baby Maria. Maria made him a bear...he was not a fan of bear or new baby!
Grammy and her little peanut!
She looks like her Mommy!
We came home the next evening and have LOVED having her home. My labor with Maria was much longer than with Greg. (A total of 16 hours verses 6 hours...not fun!) The highlights of labor: went to hospital around 11 pm Wednesday night. Walked the halls trying to get my contractions stronger until 2 with breaks in between to get my vitals and Maria's vitals checked. Rocked in a rocking chair all hooked up until 6. Got petocin drip at 7. Water broke at 1230. Contractions got super strong. I asked for epidural around 1. Epidural complete at 2. I started to push at 2:05 (epidural got to my calves before I delivered Maria...so I guess it was a natural birth! :-) ) Overall, it was not too terrible!!
We are getting settled into our routine and loving life with the two of our sweet babies!!
