Averi Noelle Jorgensen was born on September 16, 2008 at 3:10 pm. She weighed 7 lbs 9 oz and was 20 inches long. She has a very tiny bit of brown hair, but it looks like she might be a blondie.
They started me on Pictocin at about 10 am, so after labor actually started, it only took about 4 hours. I did have an epidural (heavenly thing!), so it was much more enjoyable (if such a word can be used with regards to labor) than last time. I HIGHLY recommend it. She was my fastest baby to deliver; I only pushed through one contraction, and then she was so close that they decided not to even wait until the next contraction. Overall, it took about 3 minutes.
She's beautiful and quite mellow. Paul's still not quite sure what to think about her, and he still needs to learn the meaning of "gentle." Katie loves her and is always wanting to get her a blanket or pick out new clothes for her to wear. She's an old hand at this big sister business, so it didn't surprise us at all.
