Today (this is Courtney here, Johanna wanted me to post some initial pictures) we went in and Johanna was induced. 6am came early, but we had a baby by 11:50am. It was a fairly smooth process, no pitocin. Johanna first had her water broken and it really got her contractions going. Did eventually, because the pain go to be too much, receive an epidural type treatment called ISN. It worked magically up until she was about to push. Her body responded negatively with a lot of vomiting. But the baby came and she and Johanna are both healthy and doing great. 7lbs 8 oz, 20.25 inches. We are pretty sure of a name. Wren. Our little songbird. She is a little small for being 2 weeks over. She is so cute and has a pointy crest of hair on her head. Thanks for all the help, prayers, and support. Everything went well. Here are some pictures taken right after she came out.
Wren, Wynn, and Gwen...we are really going to have to enunciate clearly at family gatherings. She's GORGEOUS!!!
