Saturday morning, 5:18am. I woke up because I had a contraction. I tried to go back to sleep, only to be woken up less than an hour later. Finally, at 6:45, I woke up Charlie. I was excited.
At 9:30, we were in the hospital. The nurses got us all set up, and we waited for the doctor. Our doctor happened to be out of town that morning, so another doctor from her practice was called. She decided at 10 am that we would probably have the baby within an hour, but when they broke my water, labor got slower. Walking around helped marginally, but eventually, we had to do a little bit of pitocin to speed it back up.
I was doing fine, progressing, until around 4:20. Then I transitioned. It took only 14 minutes of active labor (pushing), and ...
4:44pm, Evelyn made her appearance on the world.
Congratulations! That's a good lookin' baby you guys have. Look at all that hair! How big is she?

I have no idea why I never saw this comment... and you kinda know now... but yeah, she was 6 pounds 14 ounces, 19.5 inches. And she lost the hair on top... :)
