Drugs are my friend!

So the bottom line of my story is that when you are uncomfortable and in pain, go to the hospital! Because I was only 38 weeks and I was VERY uncomfortable and in pain but it wasn't what I thought labor pain would be like and it was happening about every 10 or so minutes and they tell you not to come unless you are having pain every 5 minutes. But when I got there I was over 5cm dialated and they tried to calmly tell us that we would be having a baby within hours. But, there are many funny stories from this whole experience that I will have to share with you all but if I must say anything it is that I love modern medicine. After being in so much pain I was completely amazed at how enjoyable the whole experience was just because of the epidural. You feel nothing and are so laid back...I just can't get over how WONDERFUL drugs are!

Kate is doing well. Our first night home was interesting. We told her it was false advertising because in the hospital she barely cried but last night she seemed to make up for it. My mom is staying with us which is nice that between her, Jason and myself...someone is able to get some sleep!

Dr. Damrich delivered her and Erin was our labor nurse and was awesome!
Jason holding Kate for the first time. For never handling a newborn before he has really done an awesome job! He is a great dad.
Except for the fact that he seems to be able to sleep through anything. He was out like a light even in these sleeping circumstances!
On our way home. Her car seat swallows her but she seemed not to mind.
Lucy was very excited to see us. She is funny because she wines to see Kate. When Kate is out of Lucy's sight she wines until we put her down for her to sniff and check on. We still have some adjusting to do though...Lucy got the least amount of sleep of all of us because she was up everytime someone else was up last night. I am sure she will become disinterested soon...but its cute.
