She's Here...

Our little Madelyn is HERE. This is a little summary of events:

We went to the hospital on Monday at 12:00.

I was induced with Pitocin at about 2:00- mild contractions.

They broke my water at 8:00- increased contractions.

Epideral at 11:00- wonderful, and to my surprise didn't hurt.

A wonderful nap from 11:45 ish- 4:30 am.

Not feeling contractions, but feeling a lot of pressure...

Dilated to 10 centimeters and fully effaced at 7:00 am.

Pushing started at 8:00 am. Thank goodness this was the first time I was aware I could push anywhere from 30 min- 2 hours.

Madelyn Paige Clancy entered the world at 10:20 am weighing 9 lbs. 7 oz., 21.5 inches long and so gorgeous!!!!

Here are some of my favorite pictures my mom took.

Noel,
You're a Mommy!!!! I am so happy for you guys, she is beautiful.
Cant wait to see more pictures and see all of the fun updates.
I hope you're getting sleep and recovering well. She's an ounce bigger than Luke was... good for you. Pushing out a baby that big warrants a special award.
And... how cute that our girls are only a day apart.
Congrats!!!!!
