Oh My Gosh - We have a Baby!

I know, I know, the real reason you've come to this blog is to learn more about Lilah, so I'll give into what you want.  Lilah was born on 1/5/2012 at 1pm.  She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and was 20.5" long (although I don't think they measured accurately - she was 22" at her Dr. appointment 4 days later.)

Delivery went well.  We were trying to go the au natural route and have an unmedicated childbirth, but that went out the window when my water broke early. 

This is me - after my water broke - but before we went to the hospital.

At that point an induction was necessary, and it was just too difficult to go through the induction contractions without any pain medication.  After 8 hours of contracting on Pitocin, I finally gave in to the epidural.  The epidural was AMAZING - sweet relief!  haha.  Lilah was born about 6 hours after that.  She came out sucking her toes, which was the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life!

Here's some more pictures from the hospital
