So April 1 my water broke around 7:30 AM. We got to the hospital around 8:30 AM. We were hoping that is was not an April fools joke Claire was trying to get away with. Low and behold it was the real deal. I put my name on the list to get the epidural as soon as possible. 9 AM I got the epidural. I was in labor for about 9 hours when the doctor told me that I was not progressing like they wanted me to. So at 7:30 PM they rolled me in to get a C-section. Baby Claire was finally born at 8:25 PM on April 1, 2009. Not quite the way I wanted it to happen, but there were no major complications. So here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.
She weighed in at 6 lbs 14 oz at a length of 19 inches. Claire Joy Gridley is the cutest baby ever (I am a little biast), but hey, she is my little girl and I have the right.
