Two days late and two days before Thanksgiving, Sophia finally decided to grace the world with her presence. Our dear girl was born at 17:05 and weighs 7 pounds 12 ounces. She is 20 inches long, healthy and otherwise completely perfect.
Annie and I are so excited to be parents. We entered the hospital for Annie's induction at around 9 that morning. They hooked her up to everything in the delivery room and started the plutocin drip to start her into labor. Little did we know that when they "start" you, it still takes hours and hours before things really get moving.
Annie had to have two epidural shots as the first one didn't really take, and though the anesthesiologist was not to excited about giving her another, she got her shot and from then on the labor was extremely smooth.
After about an hour of pushing, when she was finally far enough dilated, Sophia's head finally began to appear, the doctor was quickly paged when Annie mentioned she thought the baby was coming out. Our doctor showed up right on time to complete the delivery, and I got to cut the umbilical cord.
Immediately Annie's mom, who was there throughout the whole day as well, got to snapping baby's first photos. Besides the initial cone shape to her head (which quickly disappeared), Sophia Lou Hunt is completely perfect in every way.
