We planned our induction for Tuesday the 25th, then I went into labor on Monday morning the 24. So we have a beautiful little girl whose stats are: 6 lbs 9 oz, 20.5 inches long, was purple in color, she's in the 11th percentile for weight and 72nd percentile for height. So she's skinny and tall, but fits into her newborn clothes rather well. Something that's been shocking and suprising is that she smiles in her sleep.

Inducing Labor

I've decided that the reason there's no homeopathic way to induce labor is to protect our babies from one crazy mother who was just so done with being pregnant that she took nature into her own hands. I know I'm not due for another week (we're inducing on Monday), but I really want to be not pregnant!

Getting ready

Tomorrow I'm 37 weeks along which is full term, so Russell and I decided we needed to be ready. I packed the hospital bags for me and the baby and Russell built the bassinet.

Here are some pictures.
