We were at the hospital just after 8:30. They strapped Shelly into the monitors and after about an hour decided that the baby's heart rate was a little fast and they should induce her. Once they did that the contractions came on fast and furious to the point that Shelly was able to relax at all. In short She was not able to cope. Time for some drugs. By this time it was about 3:30. They administered the epidural and within about 20 minutes she went from 5-6 cm to fully dilated and ready to push. At 7:02 PM McKenna Ann entered the world very quietly with the most beautiful face I had ever seen. She was perfect in every way. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 10 oz.

Shelly and Luke were astonished at what they had done. Auntie Sher and Oma wer glad they were able to help and witness the amazing event and Pops was a little nervous but obviously very proud!

Our little family has grown by "1" She has two pinky fingers and takes turns wrapping us around them.
