And she's a she!! (I had a dream the night before that she was a he and I started spray painting everything blue...) Anyway, as I mentioned, our baby girl, has finally arrived. Here's her stats:
Name: Audrey Jane Omand
DOB: Wednesday May 24 at 10:20pm
Weight: 8 pounds, 8 ounces
Length: 21 inches
She's an angel, truly. The whole birthing experience was intense, but amazing at the same time. Inducing was the way to go...I'm glad I didn't wait for her to get any larger, she was hard enough to get out as it was. We were in the hospital by 9am, I got an epidural at around 6pm, and I was ready to push at 8pm! I went from 5cm to 10cm between 6pm and 8pm, which was a surprise because we were prepared to be there all night and deliver in the wee morning hours. In fact, at 8pm when the nurse said I was at 10cm and ready to push, Cory had taken his only break of the day to go to the cafeteria to eat his dinner! We were frantically trying to find him (at that point, I was wishfully thinking that I would only need to push three times...ha!). Of course, crisis averted, he came back in plenty of time. My doctor wasn't even there until about 9:30, so it was all good.
Anyway, I'll have to sprinkle in more gory details later, as it's time to feed the little one from my troughs of milky goodness. Don't have time right now to post pics, but I'll definately be doing so soon as we've been camera crazy new parents, to be expected!!

Auntie Alli is proud as can be! Way to go, Amy! (and way to go, Cory, for doing such nice counting from 1-10 for two hours straight!). Can't wait to see Audrey again.. tomorrow!
