Caedis Alivia King was born on 20 May 2008 at 5:40pm. On Monday (the 19th) we went and picked up my mom from the airport in Phoenix. Later that evening/early on the 20th I started having a few contractions. Light and about 10 mins apart, but we called the midwife since Silas' birth was as fast as it was and she said to come in. So we went. Mom stayed at the house with the kids (a huge help!) and after a few hours my contractions stopped completely. As I mentioned in the previous post we had already talked about inducing and at about 2:45 that's exactly what we did. The midwife broke my water and then we sat in to wait. For two hours I had no contractions and we did a lot of walking and resting. After two hours contractions started and once they did, they were hard. I began the day dilated at a stretchy 3 and in no time at all was dilated to an 8. We hopped on over to the tub (yes, laugh as you can imagine it was as easy as that!) as I couldn't relax in between contractions. After a few more minutes of contractions and about 10 minutes of pushing she was out! She weighed 9 lbs. even and was 20 3/4 inches long. She's such a sweet baby and the kids are loving having her around! Here are a few pictures from the last two days, we'll update with more soon!
