Finally, our daughter is here

Kate LeeAnn Hoffman
10-6-10 7lbs. 11oz. 20 3/4in. 4:17pm

So we decided (doctor and I) Kate needed a little coaxing to come out of her cozy home.  I checked into the hospital Tuesday October 5th about 11pm along with my Mom. The pitocin drip started at about 6:30am Wednesday and after a few hours of lots of contractions an epidural, and a re-do of that epidural... Kate was born! She gave us quite a scare though the first few minutes of her life. She came out "floppy" so the doctor called a code blue and about 2 seconds later there were probably 10 people in our room hovering over her.  It took some time but we finally heard that first cry and could not have been more relieved.  They are not too sure what caused what happened, but all we know is she is just fine now!
She has a tender cry and uses it quite sparingly.  She is a great eater and loves to sleep.  We are hoping she keeps that up for a long time!
