Baby's here!

Welcome to the world Ainsley Kate Petersen!  She's a pretty big girl if you have no eyesight and are unable to see.  9# 8oz and 21 inches.  Granted, we have big genes in the family.

The story (real quick):
 So you can see from the below picture that the baby was getting big because I was huge.  Remember, actual due date is Oct 6.

So Thursday Sept 23 I have a growth ultrasound to see how big the baby is getting.  At this point my "due" date has already been bumped up to Oct 1. The tech lets me know that baby is approx 10 lbs.

So Friday morning I meet with my OB and basically we come to the decision that the bun is done in the oven and getting crispy around the edges.  She immediately went to call the hospital to find an opening in the induction schedule, the sooner the better.  Funny thing is is that by 12:30 that afternoon I started laboring on my own.

At 3:15, I'm at the school picking up the carpool after school and get the call to come in.  Of course I have to ditch the other kids and Aaron needs to get home but eventually by 5:00 I'm signed in getting comfy in my open back gown.

By 7:00 the penicillin finally comes down from the pharmacy and by 9:30 it's all in (I was strep B+). It was a bit frustrating as I pride myself in having quick labors and the waiting game was out of my control.  By 10:00 they start the pitocin and break my water by 10:30 or 11:00.  I start pushing around 11:45 and she's born at 12:04 am.

That's the story.
