Our baby girl Taylor is finally here and we couldn't be more excited. It was an interesting series of events, but all in all a pretty textbook labor thankfully. Joni started having contractions on Sunday night, August 12th. For the next 2 days they never got closer than 7-10 minutes apart and we were told to stay home until they were 3-4 minutes apart. So we went to Joni's next, previously scheduled doctor appointment on Wednesday August 15th, hoping for some more encouraging news. At the appointment, the doctor checked Joni out and discovered that she was already 5 cm dilated and decided we should probably head to the hospital right then. We were so ecstatic! Thankfully, we had already cheated and packed out hospital bags in the car just in case :)

Since it was only noon, we figured we would have the baby by that evening. Fast forward many hours and at 9pm Joni was given an epidural. Unfortunately this halted progress and we waited for many more hours for the labor inducing drugs to take effect.

Finally at 4:12am on August 16th, little Taylor Jean made her big entrance into the world. Her auntie Katrina is beyond thrilled to share her birthday with her.

The last few times I've tried to leave a comment, the machine wouldn't let me in, but I'm trying again. Welcome to our world, pretty Miss Taylor Jean. I can hardly wait to rock, cuddle, and get lots of sweet sugar - from you and your Mom and Dad. Love to all, Mimi
She is precious! Congrats mom and dad.
