    GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    On Tuesday June 15 I went into work at 7:30am after being sent home from the hospital the day before with “early labor signs”. I figured baby would have to be induced on Thursday the day after my due date so I might as well go to work.
    About 9:30 my coworker and I were eating breakfast and I started having contractions but they felt different than the ones I had the day before so I sort of ignored them even though they hurt. I decided to keep track of them after I got several in a row. I did 2 outpatient echoes and called Andy to ask him to come have lunch with me and I was going to head up to L&D to see what they thought.
    I punched out at work at 11:40am and headed upstairs. I got in the room and changed in a gown and about 12:20 the Dr came in to see what was going on. He checked me and I was 8cm dilated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Soooo needless to say “early labor” was gone and I was now in the home stretch already!! So glad I went upstairs when I did because I almost stayed at work longer!
    I got labwork and an epidural around 2pm and the Dr broke my water. He checked me again and I was still only 8cm so he went to do a c-section (which we could hear the baby’s first cry next door…awww!). He came back about 3:15 and checked me and I was good to go.
    I started pushing at 3:20pm and 10 pushes later at 3:43 we heard a cry and “IT’S A GIRL!!!!!”
    Hannah Jean Wright was born perfectly healthy weighing in at 7lbs 15oz and 20 inches long!!!!!
    It was an amazing labor/birth and even the Drs said it was the fastest smoothest delivery they’ve ever seen! The nurse was laughing that Andy and I had giggles the entire time.
    We are so thrilled to add Hannah to our family and the twins have already given her plenty of kisses!!:) We've been plenty busy but will try to keep everyone updated on pictures and such:)

    Here are some pics from Facebook:)

    Congratulations!!!

    I must be honest, but I cannot fathom going from 0 to 8cm without any agony. LOL. With the twins I had the epi early on but with Bec and Sam I had planned natural births. Ended up getting the epi with Becca (good thing because it was a LOOOOONG labor ending in forceps) and Sam was natural, though I was begging for the epi right before I go the urge to push.

    Congratulations on the amazing birth story and your baby girl! I am also jealous because I'm STILL pregnant and we were due at the same time. I hope to have some good news soon though. :D
