To recap, I started to have contractions after putting Addison down for a nap around 1:00 on the 18th, however I didn't really think anything was happending until closer to 3:00. By 3:30 the contractions were bad enough that I didn't think I would be able to deal with Addison if he woke up from his nap. I called Bart to have him come home, and by the time he got home around 4:00, I was having contractions every 2-3 minutes, and feeling like I almost needed to push.
We got to the hospital a little before 5:00, and I was already dilated to a 7. I had an epidural a little after 6:00, and she was born after about 3 pushes at 7:05pm.
We were able to go home the next evening after being in the hospital for just over 24 hours. We were all so glad to be home, and so thankful that my parents made it over from Seattle to help us out and entertain Addison.
Abigail is doing great! She is a sweet baby, eating good and starting to give us a little sleep at night. We are not sure who she looks like, yet, let us know what you think.
Addison is a super big brother. He loves to give her kisses, and help with getting her diapers, pacifier etc. He is also very concerned when she crys, and asks "what she want?"
We are so blessed that everything has gone so smoothly and are so thankful for all that has happened in the past few days.
