Finally a baby........and it's a GIRL!!!!

It seems silly posting a blog seeing how everyone has done such a great job at posting information about the new baby. I finally got "the call" last Wednesday at around 1:00pm telling me it was time to come in. I was still skeptical at this point that this was really going to be my day. Around 5:00pm they came in and broke my water......not much came there but the contractions soon were coming at a regular pace......we were in business!! The nurse I had was awesome.....she told me I didn't have to wait until I was dying to get my epidural.....I thought for sure I was hearing her wrong, but I wasn't. So I got the epidural before I had the horrible pains and it was the most enjoyable labour EVER!!! By 9 pm my doctor stopped by for a second visit and I was about 4 cm......not going to fast and I thought for sure we would have a Thursday baby instead. I guess though once you hit 4 cm you can go fairly fast and within the hour I was already up at 8cm. In the end Georgia Marie Nelson made her appearance in the world at 11:24pm after a good 40 minutes of pushing......it took a little longer as she was facing the wrong way and we had to wait for her to turn around. She tipped the scales at 10 lbs 9 oz and was 23 inches long. I was shocked!! I didn't expect to have a girl bigger then the other two.....especially where Sarah was a week late.

She is an absolute delight and the kids are just loving having her around. I am glad to be through the pregnancy and thankful to have no stitches. The after pains really stink after a 4th baby......worse then any labour so I'll be glad when they disappear. I'm going to post some pictures......probably similar to some others but I haven't gotten any new ones up yet. Enjoy.......
