And now we are four.
Clara Jane arrived on April 30, 2010 at 4:20 pm, five days past her due date. I was scheduled for induction on May 3 but since there was a slight deceleration in Clara’s heart rate during my non-stress test on Friday morning, the doctors decided it would be better to induce me then rather than let me go home.
So, I was induced to get things rolling and within four hours Clara was born. Luckily, Ian decided not to eat his lunch in the cafeteria or he might have missed the whole thing! My obgyn wasn’t the doctor working the floor that day but she happened to come down to see how I was doing right at the time when Clara was ready to come out, so she was there for the delivery. It only took about three pushes and then Clara was born.
I spent 24 hours in the hospital, which felt like an eternity since I wasn’t in pain and I wasn’t tired and I just wanted to get home with Clara and see Amelia.
*Congrats to my teammate Julie who correctly guessed April 30!
Yay!! Congrats fish and family! She’s gorgeous!
Congratulations to the whole family! She’s insanely cute!
Glad to hear your birth story went really well (in a all-things-being-relative way, I suppose). Encourages me for what’s ahead in about, oh, 6 months or so…! :-)
Whenever you have time, I’d love to hear on how Amelia is doing with the baby and all. Take care!
