She's here!!!

Elizabeth Morrigan was born on June 11 at 7:08pm, weighing a matching 7lbs 8oz and 19in in length. <3 At my regular OBGYN appointment at 11 that "regular" morning, I was only 1 and a half cm still with no sign of that changing. Induction was being planned for the 23rd. Little did we know, I would lose mucus plug at 9pm and begin my bloody show at 10pm. At around 12:40am my water broke with a small amount of meconium. Lizzy was born with an APGAR score of 9. :)

Right now we're resting. I was 39 weeks 4 days pregnant. I had to have an episiotomy and the help of the forceps but I didn't push very long. The end was very intense and I had some HORRID contractions after delivery. The doctor massaged my uterus and I lost a lot of blood and clots right then, immediately relieving all my discomfort (but scaring the crap out of my mom). I felt much better but passed out trying to stand XD So I'm stuck in bed. All is good now. Just waiting to pee lol.

Word of advice: If you're planning on an epidural, DO IT! lol
