We like to keep things out of control in our family, or so it may seem. This is why soon after Macey’s activation, we were due for a new baby girl. While the official due date was October 17th, Dr. Steve didn’t think Brittney would make it, and decided to induce her on the 12th. He actually didn’t think she’d make it to the 12th even! We did make it however.
One last picture of our pre Lily family.
On Wednesday October 12th, Brittney and I called the hospital around 5:30 to see if we were allowed to come. Denied. There were no rooms open. We are happy to say, however, that by 7:30 a room had opened up and we were ready to go. That room even happened to be where Macey was delivered. While Macey stayed home with grandma, we brought a picture to have her with us nonetheless.
Brittney began the labor like last time, natural, but with early signs of back labor, we decided to forgo THAT fun and opted for the epidural. The drugs settled in and all of a sudden, we had a baby! No, it wasn’t that fast, but almost. Brittney was induced around 9 AM and two and a half hours and 3-4 pushes later (at 11:25) Lily Elizabeth Jones joined our family. She came weighing 7 lbs 7 oz and stretching 19.5 inches.
When we were ready, we invited Macey to come and join us and meet her little sister. At first, she was just happy to see mommy and didn’t care much for Lily, even trying to push her out of the way. After some time, and some teaching, Macey smiles at Lily, brings the pacifier to Lily when she’s crying, and is well on her way to being a wonderful big sister.
