7lbs. 8oz.

I was 6 days overdue and went in at 7:30AM to be induced. I had been having light contractions all night, but still nothing regular. I was dialated to a 4.

It took a few hours to get my antibotics done and things before they gave me a higher dose of Pit. I think they turned up the Pit about 10:30AM. My contractions were strong and close together and I decided to get an epidural(12PM) and have a happier delivery. As you can tell by the picture below - it worked! This is just a few minutes before the doctor came in to deliver Natalie.
Then at 1:07PM (I thought it was 1:08, but all the papers say different, haha), Natalie was born after just two contractions of pushing.


She wasn't very happy at first!
But she calmed down after a few minutes.

Grandma Jones was able to be there for the delivery and to give Natalie her first bath!

Natalie had high Billiruben level before she was even 24hrs. old. The Dr. put her on a Billiblanket and her levels were higher the next day so he put her on Two blankets! We had these on her until she was a week old. Here she is glowing front and back! Our brightest glow worm of the family;).
1 Week and not happy:l
