Finally!!!


Little Abbie finally came on Wednesday, November 17th. Since I was a week past my "due-date" the doctors were keeping an extra eye on me. Part of this "extra-eye-ness" included an amniotic fluid index--which I had on Tuesday. My midwife did not like the results of the test and decided to induce my labor. The pitocin drip went in at about 2:45pm Tuesday afternoon and at 4:06am Abigail Elizabeth made her entrance. It was an un-medicated birth(YAY!--I did it!), and we are both doing really well.

Way to go Courtenay! You are a champ for being induced AND going natural- with the long process that usually entails, I salute you for enduring the pain that long! I couldn't have done it! (but needles don't bother me either, so maybe we even out :) )

WAHOO! Congratulations! She's darling! And way to go natural Courtenay, even with pitocin! You are hardcore! Best of luck these next weeks figuring out your new life. And not that you asked (are you tired of the free advice yet!?), but since I love you, I have to say it: my lifesaver was Babywise. If things get rough, give it a try! LOVE YOU!
