It's a....

GIRL!!!!  Well I guess it's time to change the name of the blog! We're no longer impatiently waiting! I can't believe the moment we've anticipated is finally here! Ms. Devyn Kristina Anderson was born on May 4th at 8:54 am.  She was 6 lbs 11.5 oz and 20 inches long! Daddy is so proud (and if anyone bet him it was a boy, he's expecting prompt payment LOL)!!!

As you know, I was scheduled to be induced Wednesday morning at 6 am. Well, around 2-2:30am, I woke up to use the restroom...as I was coming back to bed, I noticed some cramping that seemed to be getting progressively worse. So I started timing the cramping and it was about 2 minutes apart. At that point, I woke Delan up and had him help me time this to make sure I'm not crazy. 

After a couple more contractions, we decided to head to the hospital (not before I tried to do my hair, brush teeth etc...all unsuccessfully). We checked into the hospital at 3:15 am and I was 5cm dilated. I received an epidural immediately and a couple hours later, I was 10 cm. However, the baby was still a bit high so they wanted me to labor for another hour to get the baby down. I had 3-4 good pushes and Devyn entered the world!  She's perfect!  

She has the sweetest personality and such a dainty cry. She's gonna have to learn to cry harder if she wants to be heard over Gracie lol. We'll have some more updates and pictures on Ms. Devyn when we get home from the hospital!

Light at the end of the tunnel

Well, it's almost here! After months and months of waiting, it's almost time! I can't wait to meet this little person who has overhauled my body for the last 9 months!  Delan is super excited and anxious as well. AND, we all get to find out if it's a boy or a girl!  I'm super excited to go shopping for gender specific clothes now!  What's funny is that my induction date is my original due date before they pushed it back when I had my first ultrasound.  

I'm still hoping that I go into labor on my own and I don't need to be induced but at this point, I'll take anything to get my ankles back and walk without pain. So for now, I'm off work and just hanging out and waiting...next time I post, Baby Anderson will be here!
