Some of Claire Elizabeth's Birthday Facts:
I got my epidural and started Pitocin at 9:30 am. They broke my water at 12:30, and I dilated from a 4 to a 10 in an hour. I pushed for 4 contractions, and she was born right at 2:00! Perfection.
It was SO fun not knowing the gender, and the nurse said that surprise births are her favorite! The moment she was delivered, my dad held up her little bum and said, "Well, what do you have?" I exclaimed, 'A Girl!!!' I was wrong thinking boy! Goes to show that even the infamous mother's intution is still just a 50/50 guess!
I DID know she would be huge though! Close to 9 lb, like I thought! Her fat rolls are hilarious, even the back of her neck is fat!!
We could hear Cameron cheering in the background when we called my sweet friend Becky (who babysat them) to tell her. He sure loves his little sisters!
Nate named her. He suggested Claire on Christmas Day, and said he wanted to use Beth, which is my grandma's name. We lengthened it to Elizabeth so it sounds better with our last name. Daddy's little Claire! I love that. He is in love with her.
My dad delivered six babies yesterday! Busy day for babies, he was running all over the place!! Every single nurse I've had for the past few days always comments to me on how much they love working with him and how kind he is. Best dad/doctor in the world!!
Nate and I are SO relaxed! It's funny how much easier this process is the third time around!
My AWESOME doctor and wonderful nurse, just after delivery.
