Amanda Jean was born on January 17th, 2007, at 6:06 pm.

I had a very easy labor with Amanda. I left work at 10:45 to go to my doctors appointment. I finally saw the doctor at 11:30. She said I was dilated inbetween a 5 and 6. Because I had been having braxton-hicks contractions she wanted to have me monitored. We went to the adjacent hospital at 12:00. By 1:00 I was dilated to a full 6 and was having regular contractions. The doctor suggested we get my husband to the hosptial as soon as possible. At 2:30 John got there and they broke my water. At 3:30 I was having hard contractions and they gave me an ISN (Inter Spinal Narcotic). At 5:30 it wore off and the contractions were hard. They had the doctor paiged. At 6:00 the doctor got to the room and I started pushing. A full 6 minutes later Amanda was born.

Happy New Family!


Daddy all tired out from the whole experience. Jacob is very excited about Amanda.
