Shame on me for not posting to this blog! I posted on my other one, but forgot to post here.Elise Mae was born on Friday, May 22nd at 2:57 am. She weighed in at 8 lbs 14 oz and was 21.5 inches long. She came so fast my midwife was not even here yet! From first contraction to birth was only 3 hours. Once my water broke, I felt "pushy" and knew she was coming now. I was able to have Ron draw up a bath for me and I got into the tub. She was out in two pushes and I scooped her up into my arms and onto my chest while Ron watched. It was the most amazing experience in my life! My neighbor Casey is a nursery nurse at our local hospital and she was planning to be at the birth anyway. So she was able to get here within minutes of her being born. Mary Anne got here about 20 minutes later.
Everything went well and we are just loving on her. My parents spent a week with us and that was a tremendous help. More photos and her birth story to come!
