She's here!!

One day old



London Lynn Worthington
Born July 28, 2011
at 11:20 am
Weighed 6 lbs, 8 oz.
19.5 inches long

I was in labor with London for about 14 hours (no pain though thank goodness!) I dialated to a 5 very quickly, then after they gave me my epidural, everything slowed down. After the help of lots of pitocin, she finally dropped lower and turned her face the right way. I pushed for about 5 minutes and she was here! She was so beautiful!! The doctor laid her directly on my stomach for about 4 minutes to let the blood pulse from her umbilical cord. She was just laying there looking at me and crying. Everyone in the room was crying, it was amazing! I had Brandon, my mom, and Brandons mom all holding my hand and helping me. I am so blessed to have such amazing people there with me, and to witness the birth of our beautiful little princess!

London is now almost 2 weeks old, and has been so much fun! My heart is truly full! She has her daddy completely wrapped around her finger, along with everyone else in her life. I have a feeling we are in for it with this little girl though, she is very high maitenance. When she wants something, she wants it right then and now. London has chosen "screaming" and grunting as her way of getting things, rather than crying. It's pretty funny actually, (for now). Of course, she doesn't like to let mommy and daddy sleep at night either. Hopefully this changes!
