It's been almost a week that we were blessed with the arrival of a 2nd healthy baby girl, Grace Maren. Turns out she was on her way to joining the world before we even checked into the hospital for the induction Thursday. When I got hooked up to the baby monitors I was having contractions 6 min apart and had progressed since my last doctors appointment. The induction didn't exactly go as planned because before they could give me the cervidel drug they had to monitor Grace for 20 minutes, but someone was so dang active they couldn't keep her on the monitor for more than 5 minutes at a time. I had to lay in a million different positions, the nurse decided she was just going to sit next to me and hold the monitor and we FINALLY got her "monitored" around 11pm so I got the drugs. Of course the night went the same way, she kept moving so nurses were in constantly trying to "chase her down" and not much sleep was had. The good news was once the pitocen was given at 7:15am, things went really fast and our little angel arrived at 10:21am! We had a good couple of days in the hospital, Grace ate and slept well allowing mom to get caught up on some sleep before heading home. She got some good quality time with both Aunt Emily and Grandma and met Grandpa. We had a special 90 minutes of family time when Big Sister Claire came to visit with Daddy. Claire helped change a diaper and got to snuggle with Mommy while Grace and Daddy bonded. Here are a few pics from the hospital!
