Baby Lexa is Here!!!!

6:18 AM October 27th, 2006 ~ 7 lbs 8 ozs ~ 20 3/4 inches
Wow!!! Let's begin this crazy story of how she finally arrived! My water broke on the 26th at 12:30pm. I drove myself to pick up my husband where he works, contractions and all... yeah. Then we went to the hospital to check in and got hooked up on the epidural after a couple of hours. I was in labor for 18 hours and pushed HARD for an hour before the Doctor let me know that the baby was not moving past the pelvic bone, and we had to do a C-Section. I was not happy about this - I really really wanted to do the regular way even if it was with the epidural. I wasn't so much nervous about the surgery - just really hung up on doing it as "natural" as possible. But now, I don't care. The C-Section went fine, Lance was in there with me and got to carry the baby to the nursery. I'm sure he was just bursting with pride walking down that hallway with that bundle of love!!!
