Ivy Christine was born January 27, 2009 at Providence Hospital.
She was 7.12 lbs and 20 inches long. She arrived at 1pm sharp.
Ben and I checked into the hospital at midnight with my contractions less than 5 minutes apart.
Our birth coach Cindy arrived at 1am.
It was slow going and extremely painful for the first 6 hours. Once I decided I wasn't a failure for needing the drugs, we got the epidural and things progressed quicker.
At 11:30 the pushing began and we welcomed Ivy with open arms and lots of tears at 1.
It's 9:15 and we've had a ton of visitors. We are certainly blessed with family and friends. Ben is rocking our little girl as I update everyone and then she'll be ready for a feeding before tucking her into bed.
We are so blessed and excited. She is perfect and we couldn't have asked for anything more.
I will post some of the pictures in a bit. Our connection is pretty slow.
Love,
Lindz, Ben and Ivy.

I'm still so tickled! You guys made a person! That's so freaking amazing. You guys are champions. I can't wait to see you again, possibly tomorrow night, but more likely not until Sunday.
I hope you get some sleep!
Much love.
Morgan
