Friday December 19, 2008 started out like any other normal day. I was off work so I slept in a little bit but by 10am it was clear that this day would be one of the most amazing in my life. I thought I may be in labor so I called the doctor who said come in and let us see you and I called Mitch and said this may be it come home now! Sure enough off to the hospital we went expecting our little girl. Everything was moving along just fine and believe it or not labor was tolerable but boy am I glad someone invented the epidural! What a relief! Then around 4pm things took a very scary turn. Mia's heart rate dropped into the 70's and the doctor and nurse did everything they could to try to make it go back up but it wasn't going to happen. I was in the OR in about 2 minutes and Mia arrived about 5 minutes after that perfect and healthy. She was born at 4:17pm weighing 5lbs 12.5 oz. and was 19.25 inches long. What a relief to finally meet our beautiful, perfect blessing!
Here are some pictures of the days events for you.
