She's Finally Here!

9 lb 2 oz
21 inches long
Dr. Bullaro and our little chunker McKenzie
We went into the hospital late Monday night with contractions after my last busy day of work. They admitted us and immediatley gave me my epidural (which actually worked this time!) At 6:00 the next morning I was ready to go. The nurse called Dr. Bullaro and had me start pushing, but the first push she could already see her head so we had to stop. When Dr. Bullaro arrived I had two contractions and she was out! No pain! I can't believe how easy it was, especially since she was a whopping 9 pounds 2 ounces!!!! After 18 hours of labor, 2 1/2 hours of pushing and barley any anesthesia with Cassidy, I deserved an easy one!!!! All of us are doing great and already home!

Congratulations! I'm glad it was an easy delivery! I've never done it, but NINE pounds doesn't sound like much fun :) She is precious! I'm really excited for you guys!
