She's finally here! Monday morning, October 12th, we went to the hospital to be induced. She came faster than expected, and I got an epidural when I was already dilated to an 8. Good news is it kind of took the edge off. Kind of. She weighed in at 8 lbs 11 oz and 21 inches long. When I first saw her all I could think of was that she was identical to Audrey when she was born. Just like Audrey she had they had to call in the respiratory techs to suction her out at birth, but after a couple of hours on oxygen, she was just as perfect as can be!
She has the sweetest demeanor and is a great nurser. I already can't imagine life without her.
Of course, the kids are thrilled with their new baby sister and I am feeling tired, but great! My mom is here for the next two weeks, and it is so nice to have her here! We'll post more later!

Sisters! Audrey was the first of the kids to hold Lucy. Everyone felt like that was only fair. She is a very proud big sister!
