We are happy to announce the arrival of our baby girl Elora! She was
born yesterday just before 6pm. Here's the birth story:
excited!!! I'd been feeling like the baby was ready to come, even
though her due date wasn't till the 23rd. But the contractions went
away after 30 minutes, and I was just having small irregular ones. So
we decided to go on a walk and right away the contractions came back
about 3 minutes apart! After our walk, the contractions settled back
down and nearly stopped, so I took a nap. But when I woke up my water
broke! Woo hoo! So we went to the hospital, got the epidural, and 3.5
hrs later they said I was ready to push! I only had to push for 7
minutes and then she was here! She weighed 7 lbs 15 oz and measured
19" long. She has chubby rolls all over and lots of dark hair. She's a
great eater and sleeper, but most of all she's really good at
snuggling and being adorable. I feel very tired but extremely happy to
have her here. Sean is in love with her and the boys really like being
my helpers. We are so grateful that God blessed us with this precious
baby girl! What a treat! Here's a picture of her:
Woohoo! She's beautiful and we're so happy for you! Hooray for early babies :)

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Catherine! She is beautiful! I remember you telling me that you pushed for like 2 hours with Peter--so glad it went better this time! Oh, and Paul has a great-aunt Elora and we love that name!
