It's a girl! Elaina Mae Scott was born on July 17, 2012 at 1:15 PM. In case you didn't do the math, our little princess was born 8 days past her due date. Apparently, I am so good at bed rest (15 weeks!), I overcook my babies even when I start pre-term labor at 26 weeks! Mama was scheduled to be induced at 8:30 AM, but contractions started at about 3:50 AM and we were at the hospital by 6:30. I got my epidural right away, was 4 cm dilated when I got there, and was 8 cm dilated by 10:30 AM. I sent Daddy down to the cafeteria around noon because he had not eaten all day. The doctor came in while he was gone and I was 10 cm! I started pushing at 12:48 PM and less than a half an hour later, we had our little girl! I say little...she was 9 pounds. Thank goodness for epidurals!
Baba and Zada came to visit that night and fell in love with their first granddaughter.
Eli is madly in love with his little sister! He was so excited to meet her. Auntie Heather had to take him shopping because he wanted to get a present for his new sister. Daddy brought Eli in and we had our first few moments together as a family. He walked in and said, "Awww, she is so cute!"
Auntie Heather, Grampy, Jacob, and Jillian came next to meet their new niece/granddaughter/cousin. Everyone was so excited!
It is going to be an adventure as a family of four, but I can't imagine doing it with anyone else!
