Eliie Lynn was born on friday, september 24th at 1:30 (with no epidural thank you very much). She weighed 8.9 lbs and is 22 inches long and was born on her Gammy's birthday and with her middle name.
The reason I didn't have an epi was that the hospital was slammed and by the time I asked for the epi, the anesthesiologis was in a twin c section. Half and hour later the nurse dragged another anesthesiologist in, but by the time he got started it was too late. He tried to get the epi in about 3 times and i finally managed to beg them to quit. Then we had to wait for the Dr who was a couple of blocks away @ the office. He came about 15 minutes after they called him, but it was truly the longest 15 minutes of my life. Dr Thorne ran in the room, told me i could push and out came the head, out came the shoulders, then i looked at my toes and realized i could move them. I hadn't been told that i didn't get the epi and was very surprised that i had done it all myself...and managed to keep most of my makeup on!
We fell instantly in love with our little girl, and her big sisters are so happy and excited to have their baby sister at home. Things are going really well with our new little family and we are so blessed to have Ellie safe and healthy here with us. We are getting professional picts done in the morning, but here are some from the hospital.
