Haddie is Here! - 8-30-11

We were so excited to finally meet our little Haddie Jane. We had to be at the hospital at 5 am to be induced. Once we arrived we got checked in and had to sit in the labor and delivery waiting room along with 2 other pregnant couples. Finally, at 7 am we were taken back to triage. What a way to get started! They got the pitocin going, IV in and all the monitors hooked up to my belly. The labor and delivery floor was full. Apparently lots of babies are born in August & September. At around 9:30 am they finally had a room ready for us.

Our kids all spent the night away, were taken to school and then came up to the hospital at 11:30. The 5 of us...

Here she is! Haddie Jane weighing in at 8 pounds, 4 ounces and measuring 21 inches long. She wins our biggest baby award :)
