Baby Arrives!

Yay! Little Lindey Dawn is here! She arrived yesterday (Monday) at 4:09 pm. She weighed in at 6lbs 90z. She is 19 inches long and has tons and tons of dark hair! I arrived at the hospital at 11 am to be induced and they started me on pitocin at 12:40ish. My water was broken at 2 or 2:30ish and I had my epidural at 3. At that time I was dialated to a 3. A half an hour later I was dialated to an 8!! I was SO not prepared for that...Shanna took 13 hours! And then 5 minutes after that I was a 10 and the doctor had to run down the hall to get there in time to have me push 4 times and out she came! Recovery is defintiely going to be a ton easier this time and I am grateful for that! Everything is looking fabulous and we are very excited to welcome our new addition to the family. Tell you more about how Shanna is adjusting in later posts! Meanwhile, here are a few pics from yesterday!
