Baby Update

Finally an update. Sorry for the long wait. Things have been busy around here while we get used to our new addition. One of these days I will write down the whole story in detail. For now here is the short version.

On Friday/Saturday morning I went in to labor. At 7:00 am Mike and I went to the hospital. When I received my epidural my blood pressure dropped too low. They tried to raise it several times with epedra but couldn't get me stable. Annie was in distress so the call was made to do an emergency C-section. When they were delivering Annie they found the cord was wrapped around her neck twice. Annie was delivered at 2:55pm. She weighed 7 lbs 6 ounces and was 21 inches long. She is beautiful!

During the C-section Annie received a little cut to her cheek

Going home- Monday morning we were officially released. Hooray!

Before we left they had to remove Annie's ankle bracelet. Every newborn at Loma Linda has to wear one of these so they aren't stolen. Around 5 am Annie got her bracelet off and set off the alarms. The nurses came running in to see what had happened.

On our way out

I was so excited to see my little quaddies. I missed them so much. They were really excited to see mom again and to meet their new sister. Jakey checking her out.
