Introducing NUMBER 4!

It's official! At 4:03 am at UNC Women's Hospital in Chapel Hill, NC, our little girl was born. She is 7 lbs. 9 ounces and has really big mouth like her brother Dylan when he was born. The greatest thing is that Michal's delivery was the best one yet, meaning she only had a minor tear and her recovery will be very quick. We left our house at a little after midnight when contractions were averaging 3 minutes apart. We got to the hospital about 30 minutes later (I was going 80 or 90 most of the way!) and we got her admitted. It seemed like the baby was going to come quickly like Corbin did, but we got her the epidural and that made everything better. Michal was able to take it slowly and there was little to no pain. She kept telling me things like "why didn't I do this (the epidural) before? what was I thinking?" Anyway, I know I rarely post on the blog, but I figured today would be as good as any. It's perfect timing too because Michal's parents are coming tomorrow! She will be released from the hospital tomorrow as well. I'm sure Michal will follow this up with a post of her own. Everything seemed to work perfectly for the delivery to go smoothly. We left the house at the right time, they got her the epidural at the right time, we had a great mid-wife and nurse on call, and the baby and mom are healthy. The only issue I have is that she was born on tax day, but I guess we can use our tax refunds in the future for her birthday presents. A name is forthcoming...
