She's Here!! (sorry for the wait)

I'm sorry that it has taken so long to post anything - Miss Sophia seems to sense when I'm about to eat, sleep, check e-mail, etc and decides to wake up. I'm hoping that it doesn't take me 6 hours to write this post, but as I'm typing she's beginning to move around in her bouncy chair....I'll try to type quick! :-)
Our perfect Sophia Elizabeth was born on Tuesday, April 6th at 10:23pm. She weight 7lbs 14oz and was 20 1/4 inches long.
I had gone to the dr. that morning b/c I wasn't sure if my water had broken or not. Sure enough, it had, and they admitted me to labor and delivery right away. They started me on pitocin to help kick start my contractions and I called Pat to tell him he needed to leave work, grab our hospital bags, and head on over. I got my epidural soon after Pat got there, and while I didn't fall asleep, I was definitely in a daze and didn't really do much except lay and stare at the Law and Order marathon that was on tv. At one point, one of the nurses checked my monitor and saw that I was having almost constant contractions with no break (yea for epidurals!!). She didn't like the way Sophia was reacting to the contractions (her heart rate was fine though) so she turned down the pitocin and left the room.  3 hours later, I told a different nurse that my hips really hurt and I was really uncomfortable. She did a check and said "I would never believe it if I wasn't here". I had gone from 3cm to 10cm with no more pitocin in 3 hours....apparently that's fast! haha. She started getting prepared for me to start pushing. I pushed for 2 hours and Sophia was born.  The dr. placed her on my chest and told Pat to tell everyone if the baby was a boy or girl. He then got to cut the cord.
We ended up staying in the hospital until Friday morning because Sophia had jaundice. We were sent home with a billi-blanket and had a check up with our pediatrician Saturday morning. The check on Saturday was perfect, so we have a clean bill of health. :-)
Overall, things are going well. She definitely likes to be up at night and sleep during the day, so hopefully we can break her of that habit sooner rather than later. Anyway, here are some pictures of our little girl. I will try to update more regularly as we start to get into a routine. (I hope!)
