On Sunday, October 2nd, Alison looked directly at me and said, "I have a gut feeling that the little girl is coming today. Can I call our parents and tell them her name now?" "Not until she is in the Dr's arms," was my reply. "And I'd appreciate if you could hold off for a few more weeks until you deliver the baby."
Within 12 hours, we had called our neighbors to come stay with Reagan and we were off to deliver girl #2. Little Evangeline waited until after the Jets game to start pushing her way out into the world and finally said hello early Monday morning.
Interesting stats:
6lbs, 11 oz
20.5 inches tall
5 different delivery nurses
really small ice chips for mom
NICU team present, but not used
2 waves of the forceps
Dum-Dum sucker, Epidural, morphine, and Tylenol for mom
Coke and 1 uncomfortable prison-made chair for dad
Cord wrapped around neck made for human yo-yo as she tried to escape her mommy's womb
One "Jesus Loves the Little Children" chime played at birth
2 very proud parents
5 very proud grandparents
1 little sister who became a big sister while eating her first McDonald's breakfast
Evangeline sends her love and would like to share her email address with YOU:
