She's Here!

Friday night we took Tori to Schnepf (?) Farms. She had so much fun. When we left at 8:00 I decided to start timing my contractions. To my surprise they were all hurting really bad and were 5 - 10 minutes apart. So an hour and a half later we headed to the hospital. When we got there I was dialated to a six. Ouch! I got my epidural about an hour later and was a 7. About 3 hours later I pushed about four times and she was out. She was born on her due date October 20th @ 2:14 in the morning. She weighed 7 pounds 13 ounces and was 20 inches long. It was such a different experience than with Tori. I didn't even feel like it should have been over yet. I love epidurals! Taylor has been such a good baby. I can just hold her and stare at her for hours. Tori never let us hold her without bouncing her, or walking her around. I now know why people love newborns. I used to be scared of them. I'm crossing my fingers that she won't get colicky at the 2-3 week period. She's such a sweety! Tori is doing really good with her. She has become a lot more whiny since she was born, but I know she'll get past it.
