Lillian Ruth made her quick debut last jonight after just two contractions worth of pushing at 11:38pm. She weighed 8lbs, 15oz and is 21 inches long. Over a pound bigger and inch longer than either of my boys (but she also had two weeks long to grow - born at 39w exactly vs 37w with the boys).

I checked into the hospital around 5pm, at 545 they said I was about 4cm and started pitocin around 630pm. Got an epi at 845. Broke my water at 930 and was still just 4.5cm. Shortly after the nurse shift change at 11pm the new nurse checked me and said I was 8.5, 0 station. With the next few contractions I started to feel pressure so my dr got all ready and set up. Started pushing about 1130pm. He said she could have been born in one push, but he let her hang out and slowly stretch me out in between contractions to prevent tearing and it worked!

I've gotten about 1.5 of sleep since then, so I'm going to try to get a bit more. And will get some pics added once I get some one my phone after the sun comes up.
