Proud parents

It sure went fast! Went into the hospital for a stress test on the baby for the THIRD time, as I've been having high blood pressure the past month. Since it kept going up and we were at full term they decided to go ahead and induce me, from then it was full speed ahead! At 7:50pm they broke my water, 9:15pm they started the oxytocin drip, 9:30pm contractions started, 11:45pm epidural came (much to my relief!!!), 12:05am started pushing, and 14 minutes later Taylor made her grand entrance. Mommy and baby both doing well and looking forward to Marissa coming in the morning to meet her new baby sister.

Ready to push!
