Nora Eileen Reid

Well she is finally here!!! Nora Eileen Reid entered the world on Monday May 12, 2008 at 12:38 pm! She weighed in at 8 lbs. 5 oz. and 20 1/2 inches. She is perfect! Labor and delivery was fast, I am not going to say easy because nothing about this process has been easy. No one can ever prepare a women for the pain of contractions. Luckily they have wonderful drugs to help with that pain. I received an epidural at 3.5 cm dialated and everyone was thankful for that. My labor progressed pretty fast and we were pushing at 11:50 am. It was so cool. I love my doctor and she made me help her deliver Nora, that is right I helped deliver my beautiful little girl! The Dr. delivered her head and shoulders and I helped get her the rest of the way out. She was wide eyed when she came out, just looking around. I started to cry when they said she was a girl. I had convinced myself that we would be holding Chase. We cannot decide who she looks more like. You put my baby picture next to her and it is kind of scary, so we are waiting on Peter's baby picture as well. Her hospital picture did not do her justice. Here are some pics that we have taken. We are doing pretty good, adjusting to being home, which is harder than I thought, but luckily we have a great support system. Thanks to everyone that has been by to visit and for the wonderful gifts. We are so lucky to be blessed with such great friends and family! That's all for now! Enjoy the pics!
