so I may be forgetting some of the details.
but, my labor with her was by far the best one...super calm and controlled.
I was able to completely relax in between the contractions.
Chris talked me through each of them which kept me totally relaxed.
he likes to refer to it as the 'hypno birth'.
we got this beauty after his hypnotism :)
I had gone into the hospital 2 days prior to her birth thinking I was going into labor,
but nothing progressed.
they offered to induce me but I like to wait until the baby is ready.
and with my sweet darrel who had just turned 2 a couple weeks before.
we left for the hospital when the kids were asleep so grandma came over.
it was a school day and andrew had the best 8th grade teacher-
who has since moved out of state and he was so sad when she did.
she sent him to the office before lunch and told him to call and find out if I had the baby.
Andrew saw Ella on her way to lunch and told him that I had a girl and she did not believe him.
I am an only girl and so is my mom so neither of us have sisters and Chris has all brothers.
it was such a wonderful surprise to have another daughter and sister for Ella.
We named our sweet baby Cecilia Marie after both her grandmothers and St. Cecilia.
She weighed 8lbs. 1 oz. (same as Ella) and was 19 inches long.
my brother came and spent a long time with us the next day, it was so nice.
I just love newborns and was in heaven with this new precious daughter of ours!
