Baby is here!!

Rosalinn Jane Pierson was born on September 10, 2009 at 3:09am. She weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. and was 20 inches long. She is just the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. It all started when my water broke at 2:25pm on 9/9/09. We went to the hospital and they confirmed it. I labored on my own for a while, but wasn't progressing, so they started pitocin. I still did not progress well and contractions became quite intense. After 6 hours of natural labor, I opted for an epidural. It still took quite a bit more pitocin for me to progress, but once I began it went fast. I went from 5cm to 9cm in about a half an hour. I stayed there for about an hour before being able to push. 45 mins later, Rosalinn was born. She was perfect from the beginning. I had some complications after birth. My contractions immediately stopped after she was born and I started bleeding pretty bad. I lost about a liter of blood, but they were able to get things stopped before any major issues arose. About an hour after birth, I was able to hold my little girl. So precious!! We are home now and she is doing great. She is breastfeeding well and loves to open those eyes and look around at the world. She takes everything in. Here are some pictures.
