What a long and winding road to get there, but what a great outcome. On Friday February 25, 2011 at 7:55pm Jill, Cooper, Baloo, Molly and I welcomed Lauren Elizabeth White into our family. She was 21 inches long just like her older brother, but a bit skinnier at 7lbs 8oz.
The whole process was a bit surreal, but Jill and Lauren both are doing great. Jill and I headed to the hospital early on Friday morning, with Jill being a bit over 41 weeks. The inducement process started off slow, but things got seeming ramped up in a hurry and when it was go time, it didn't take long. Jill was a champion, and the doctors and nurses all commented about her toughness.
Lauren arrived and as the doctors and nurses were getting Lauren cleaned up, we could hear Cooper running up and down the hall outside yelling "We made a baby! We made a baby!" I was so happy that he was this excited.
Here are a few of the early pictures of Lauren, with lots and lots more to come...
