Born July 21st at 3:09 pm
9 pounds 3 ounces 21 inches long
I am soooooo excited that our new baby girl is finally here! I was scheduled to be induced one week before my due date because my doctor could already tell that Sienna was going to be a big girl. I was supposed to get called into the hospital sometime on Tuesday after midnight. Well, apparantely lots of babies were being born on Tuesday because the hospital didn't call me until 5:30am on WEDNESDAY!!! It was a torturous 30 something hours of waiting. But as soon as I got to the hospital all of that was forgotten because the rest of the time was perfect. We checked in about 7:30am, they started me on Pitocin right away, my doctor broke my water at 8:30, I got my epidural soon after that and little Sienna was born at 3:09 after pushing for about 5 minutes (sorry to all the ladies out there who have had to push for hours! I should get some credit though since she was so big!) Everything was a dream. We actually had a super short hospital stay too, we checked out on Thursday at about 5:00 so just barely 24 hours later. Because of all my hospital time with Allie, I'm not too fond of the place so I was actually super excited to be able to go home early. Sienna is one week old today and things could not be better. Aside from the sleep deprivation, major pain from nursing and all the adjustments, I just love our new family. Sienna is such a good baby so far and Allie is adjusting (pretty) well. :) My heart just melts everytime I look at both of my girls and I can't thank my husband enough for being absolutely perfect throughout my whole pregnancy, labor and delivery, and especially this past week. I could not do any of this without him. God has blessed us so much and I am so thankful!!!
On my way to the hospital (FINALLY!)
Gotta love the epidural, I felt no pain at all! Allie came to keep me company for almost the whole time.
Proof that I delivered a 9 pound baby!!!
