Proud Auntie

My sister is a rock star.

She delivered a 9lb 10oz baby girl yesterday afternoon without the aid of an epidural.

She doesn't necessarily recommend anyone else doing it, but as she responds poorly to medication, she thought she'd try it, and man... she did it!

I cannot even imagine it. She was induced, too, so you know those pitocin contractions can be really intense... ugh. No thank you. But great job, Amy!

Welcome little (or not so little) Lexi! We're so glad you're here safely!!!




She is darling. So chubby! Little rolls on her arms and legs already. You know she couldn't be without dimples, but her dimples are above her eyebrows. So cute.

Tell Amy that we are so proud of her...I TRIED the whole induction without an epidural....and crashed and burned thanks to my nice Midwife who thought that Cambree needed to be born in 3 hours....hopefully Amy had better support from her Doctor. Lexi looks darling!
