As most of you probably know, my niece Lillian was born yesterday! She kept us waiting and teased her Mommy (and the rest of us) with a lot of false labor, but when she decided to make her appearance, she did it fast and furiously. She was the talk of the labor floor yesterday the nurses told us. Long story short, (you can read more about it on her blog here) my sister and I talked at 7:40 yesterday morning and she admitted she was having some contractions…we decided I would go to my parent’s house where she was staying (because they live 45 min away – from the hospital)…. by the time I got there her contractions were 2min apart and very strong…we went to the hospital. We got there at 9 and she was still only 2cm (had been for a week). So they had her walk….yea she only walked for about 20 min and the contractions were so bad that they checked her again..she was 5cm! Moved her to a room…checked her a few min later…she was 7cm. Checked her a few minutes later and she was 10cm!! Time to push! And the poor thing didn’t get to have an epidural that she really really wanted because there was just no time. So yesterday morning was crazy, but so amazing. Lillian Grace Boso was born at 11:31am (remember, I said we didn’t get to the hospital until 9!!) God is so good and our family is so blessed! So turn up the volume, listen to the words of the song handpicked by my sister….and enjoy the photos. Thank you everyone for your prayers and support…. and now, I need to go to the hospital cuz Lillian called and wants me to come hold her… :) :) (Don’t worry, everyone’s pics/proofs will be ready in plenty of time to order for the holidays).
Oh and guess who won the baby poll??? My MOTHER!!!! lol
