She is already three months old, but for those of you interested in her birth, continue to read. No disclaimer needed. Although I'm a nurse and enjoy describing medical procedures in great detail, it was a relatively boring delivery from a medical standpoint. (Not that I'm complaining.)
My doctor decided to induce me for a number of reasons, including a low amniotic fluid level. Katie was born on September 20th, about 20 hours after they started me on IV pitocin. Once my labor "Kicked In" (actual medical term used by my nurses) it was a quick labor of only 5 hours.
It was a happy labor and delivery. Probably because I got an epidural. The greatest invention known to mankind. I only hope I get one in time with my next babies. I guess I should learn hypnobirthing just in case, but I'll probably save hypnosis for the rest of parenthood, like when she is a teenager.
Katie weighed 7 pounds 11 ounces. 20.5 inches long. She was born at Cambridge Hospital, a few blocks from Harvard University. Jonathan and I love being parents. We knew we would, but she has exceeded our expectations.
What a blessing to be sealed together as a family and have those blessings fill our lives with such happiness. Life can't get much better than that!
