We were scheduled to come to the hospital for an induction on the evening of 10/3, but my water broke at 4:00 am. We came to the hospital around 6:00 am and things started progressing quickly a couple hours after that. At 3:00 pm, I started pushing and made good progress until 6:30, but Parker is a big girl (and has the head to match) and we were given the option to use forceps or a c-section. We went for the C. Just an hour later we finally had the answer we had waited 41 weeks for, it's a girl!
She seems to be pretty mellow so far and has been very alert, especially after eating. The name Parker is one that we both just really liked, not too prissy, a little different. Rose is my Mom's middle name. My Mom reminded me that Parker has the same initials as her before she got married, Patricia Rose Gibler, which I hadn't even thought of!!
More pictures to follow in the next few days...
Yay! She's here!
