For 12 hours they gave me the medicine that helps dilate you, and at 6:30 am this morning they gave me Pitossin (sp?) to induce labor. After a VERY long day, and going through 3 epidurals (yes, 3), and a 102 fever, our baby was born. At 9:32 am after 1 hour of pushing, our beautiful baby arrived on August 8, 2009. It was absolutely amazing. Derrick and I just balled and couldn't stop.
Baby Abigail (middle name TBD) was born at 37 weeks, 20 inches long and 6 lbs 12 oz. A perfect size and they said 80th percentile and measured at 39 weeks. Her little chubby cheeks and arms are precious. I love me some chubby babies!

Before delivery (102 fever and VERY tired)!
Baby girl with proud daddy:
Swollen mommy with our baby girl finally looking at us:
Daddy is officially in love:
She lays just like mommy and daddy when sleeping:
Just chilling out after breast feeding (yep she did it!)
First bath (didn't like it that much at first):
Hey, that feels pretty good actually!
Sleeping at last:
You can't see them, but she has the chubbiest little arms and cheeks, just precious!
