So so so in love!!!

Baby Girl

Did I mention her chubby legs? Or that she couldn't wear newborn diapers, ever? That she is the cutest, bald baby?! or that we love her and her chubbiness?!

Corinne Elizabeth Potter

Wow, 3 months later and I’m finally blogging about the precious gift that came into our home! Corinne started this life on quite the roller coaster ride. The last few weeks before she was born I was feeling HUGE. Now, all moms feel that way their last few weeks. But this was the feeling that she was getting as big as Justin (remember, he was 10lbs 8oz). I finally was able to be induced at 39 weeks.

  My mom flew in that morning and I was thinking that I’d be in the hospital by the time she got here, seeing as I was #4 on the list to be induced. I called at noon. They told me to call back in an hour. I did, they said call at 5 (all the while telling me they had two moms delivering and it’d be anytime). I called at 5:30—they said call at 7, I did. I FINALLY was given the go ahead to come in at 8:15 PM!!! And they brought two more people in …one at 10 and one at 11. Wow. late night. So…I proceeded on my way of getting an epidural (in case of emergencies for women having VBACs). I had the pitocin and started to see contractions. about 1 am they started me all over again because I wasn’t progressing. They broke my water and WOW!! I was floating in it. It was crazy to see my stomach just deflate to nothing. Her heartbeat started to rise, but nothing crazy. finally at 5 AM, they found her cord had prolapsed (her cord was coming out before her head) and I was rushed into emergency surgery.  I admit, I was bawling the whole way and during the surgery. I was frustrated because I had been asking to be induced basically from week 37 on. I guess we need to let by gones be bygones.  She made it here at a whopping 10lbs 8 oz. One nurse was all….”He’s a big boy!” I screamed..what??! The doctor quickly corrected the nurse who couldn’t even see…that she was a girl. She got her name about day 3. I have the hardest time picking names!! She’s here, healthy and happy and we are all in love with her!!!
