We are excited to introduce Katie Rae Bennett. She was born on April 12 at 5:28 pm. She was 7lbs 9oz and 20" long. We are so excited to have her here! The doctor broke my water at 8am and started me on Pitocin. That really got the contractions going. I got my epidural about an hour later. They had to try it twice. The first time hurt like you wouldn't believe and apparently that isn't supposed to happen! He tried it again and it was fine the second time. However, it did stop working on my right side by the time I was fully dilated. That was a treat. Katie was caught on my pelvis and her head got pretty banged up. I also got banged up and ended up with almost 30 stitches to prove it! All that aside, though, it went faster than I thought it would and we are home now. I actually feel better than I thought I would after all that. We think we will keep her. Thursday, April 17, 2008
