She's Here!

After years of infertility, over 24 hrs of labor and a c-section Special K arrived June 21st (Father's Day!) weighing 9lbs 8oz and 21inches long! My niece is here!

My sister went into early labor Friday and was able to stick it out at home until 10:30pm. She called me to let me know that she and her husband were heading up to the hospital. I waited about an hour and headed up. She was only dilated 2cm and was the story until till about 4pm the next day. The baby was positioned wrong (was head down but facing the wrong direction) and causing major back labor. She was able to receive an epidural at 2cm and they started pitocin even though she was having regular contractions. They wanted them stronger and closer together. About 8pm I decided I was going to go home as we thought it was going to be awhile. I was not home 5 minutes and received a phone call telling me she was 10cm. I decided I was going to stay home as I had a terrible migraine. Turns out she ended up trying to push for 45 minutes and then they decided to do a c-section. She said things (meaning she) got ugly! LOL She ended up in her room around 3:30am. I know she is tried and sore. Both are doing very well.

I'll tell you one thing, this baby is a chunker! She has some major rolls. LOL I think she looks a lot like Spitfire when she was a baby. I must tell you that Spitfire looked just like my sister when my sister was a baby. Oh I could just nibble on those cheeks!
