Welcoming Samara Anne Marie Neufeld
Born on December 8th, 2010 at 1:42pm
Weighing 7lbs 6ozs and Measuring 20 1/4" in length
Does mommy look like she's had a rough delivery?
I don't think so!
Here's how it went...
9 hours of pre-labor on November 28th (3 cm)
I told her to wait until I got home from work before she was allowed to go into labor
Labor started 11:15pm (when I got home) December 7th
Dropped off kid-lets at Mom & Dads at 3:00am December 8th
Thanks Mom and Dad for watch your grand babies while we got a new one...
Arrived at the hospital where contractions slowed around 3:30am (4 cm)
Contractions slowed further after moving into a delivery suite a few hours later
Doc broke her water to help move things along around 8am
Contractions stopped (4 cm)
Oxytocin started at 10am to help induce labor
Contractions started again and grew quite quickly in pain and duration
Around 12pm pain was becoming quite intense and lots of progress was made (7 cm)
Transition. Enough said... (8 cm)
1:10pm Pushing through 9 cm and leftover membrane covering Samara's head
1:10-1:40pm asking for every drug known to mankind
1:42pm a glorious arrival of a beautiful baby and a glowing mother...
1:42:30pm Surprised to find out that our boy is a girl!
1:42:31pm Happy anyways!
David giving Samara his kiss of approval
His most notable comment was 'You did a good-job Mommy!'
Angeline pointing out that its a baby!
Her most notable comment was 'Baby!'
One bigger happy family!
Finally at home sweet home with our new arrival.
David and Angeline have been fighting over who holds Samara.
They are both very excited about Samara,
although Angeline seems worried that this baby is going to stay for some time.
