Our beautiful daughter, Cecilia Rose, was born on 11/8/11. She was 4 days late and totally worth the wait. We are so in love with her and can't seem to put her down.
I was scheduled to go in on the night of 11/3/11 to be induced but I was bumped to 11/6/11 because the hospital was overbooked on inductions. So on Sunday night, 11/6/11, at 9:00 pm, Davey and I checked in at the Banner Gateway Hospital. Around 11:00 pm they started me on the Cervidil. I slept well that night and the next morning the Cervidil hadn't done its job entirely so they gave me some more gel to continue to soften my cervix. Later that afternoon they finally started me on Pitocin. To make a very long story short, 38 hours after I had started the induction process- I was only dilated to a very generous 2. Dr. Bullaro then informed us that I would need to go ahead and have a C-Section. At 1:08 pm, Cecilia was born and we finally got to meet our adorable baby. The first thing I heard the doctor and nurses comment on was all of her hair and how they thought it was red. We do see a lot of red in it still. Hearing her first cry was the greatest sound I've ever heard. After a few minutes, Davey got to bring her over to meet me. I will never forget that moment.
We got to bring Cecilia home on 11/11/11. When Julie pulled the car up for us at the hospital, she had Simon & Garfunkel's "Cecilia" playing in the car for her.
We are all doing well and Cecilia is such a sweet baby! I feel very lucky. She loves to eat and is a little priss, always holding out her pinky when I feed her.
A special thanks to all of our family and friends for their love and support. Cecilia is one loved baby girl and enjoys all of her visitors. We are so fortunate to have both of our families so close. Everyone has been so wonderful.
We especially miss Julie and Sara! My sisters were so amazing during all of this. They both came down from UT with their kids and were a huge help. I was so sad to see them leave but was so thankful that they got to be here for all of the excitement and Cecilia's first week.
