Hailey is here!

Hailey was born by C-Section at 11:02AM this morning. She is 8 lbs, 15 ounces.

Mom and baby are both doing well. Mom is recovering from a pretty rough C-section, and is in a lot of pain, but she is recovering.

Edit: here's a picture!

Also, here's a video of her, when she was less than an hour old. Link to youtube

Update...

18 hours in... We're at 6 or 7cm, 90%, and -2 station. Pretty soon they're going to make the call on whether or not to do a C-section, they think she might just be too big.

(-2 station is up a little high still, she's supposed to be down farther by now.)

Epidural in...

Julie just got the epidural, and she has relief finally. They're going to check her soon to see how far she's dilated. More to come soon...

Waiting Game...

We're on Pitocin, waiting for labor to progress. Contractions right now are hardly noticeable, so we're just waiting, for now.

Water broke...

Julie's water broke! We're now in the hospital, waiting for labor to progress. Hailey is on her way!

Baby Update...

It's been a while since we've updated the blog... We are nearing the end of the countdown to Hailey's birth! On Thursday, October 22nd, we had our 6th ultrasound to measure growth, and Hailey's weight was estimated at around 9 lbs.

On Friday, we had an appointment with our Doctor, who came up with a plan that we're happy with: if Hailey doesn't come out on her own before her due date (Thursday, Oct. 29th), she will plan to induce labor on the begining of the following week (the week of Monday, Nov. 2nd). So, we have a final countdown of about 10 days.

We're very excited, and you can expect to see some more posts in the following weeks!
