Lins got her wish



Well, Linsee really wanted to go into labor on her own. So this afternoon she started feeling contractions but since she has always been induced, wasn't sure if it was real labor or not. I asked her how far apart her contractions were and how long they lasted and she said I don't know - so I timed them and they were about 4-5 minutes apart and were lasting close to a minute. I didn't really feel like having a baby at home so we packed up and made our way to the car. By this time, Lins could hardly walk.

Needless to say, she really was in labor. Just after 6pm, she gave birth to a beautiful 7lb, 20in baby girl. We named her Lucy Juliet. Luckily, this was her easiest and fastest labor. Doesn't she look fabulous for just having given birth?
