Love at first sight

I guess for those who want the story and details, this is as good as it gets:
Monday, at my doc. appt., we scheduled the next available day to be induced, which was Wednesday morning. The due date was the upcoming friday and the doctor was worried about the baby being too big. (since Nani was 9lbs 2 oz) So Wednesday, at 6am, we went to the hospital, got all checked in, and I was started on pitocin at 7am. I got my epidural at 7:20 and it was pretty kick back the rest of the way. I progressed typically then sped up and we had a baby at 2:24pm. She was 8lbs 15oz. and 19.5 inches. She was absolutely beautiful. Everything went great. I definitely like being induced. It was wonderful. It was an enjoyable experience and I felt more rested and felt that the recovery was better. Yes, technically, I'm still recovering and healing, but it just seems much better this time around.
Things in life are less stressful and much more enjoyable this time around.
Next time, I'm going to try for another induction.







The girls loved her right away. They love holding her and calling her baby Maya. They're always checking to make sure she's okay and that someone is with her. They get very concerned when she cries but are quickly there to give her a pacifier and tell her it's okay.
It's so exciting to add another girl to our family. They will all be the best of friends and love each other. I'm excited to see them grow up together.
I just love my babies!
