It's a girl!!!

After visiting the doctor twice in one day, we were told to check into the hospital on Tuesday evening, July 1st. After several hours of pitocin and one excellent epidural, Grace Lee Bridges entered the world at 1:45 pm on Wednesday, July 2nd. She weighed 6 pounds, 11 ounces and was 18.5 inches long and had a head full of hair. She came out with an excellent set of lungs and spent the first 30 minutes of life exercising those lungs. Both sets of grandparents were on hand to see her, as well as Aunt Beth and Allison. Grace ended up developing jaundice, and we had to spend another 3 days at Children's Healthcare so she could spend time under the bili-lamps. We were glad to finally get our little girl home for good almost a week after she was born!! And now the adventure really begins!!
