Harlee is here!!!! Jessica went into the doctor Friday and our oh so loving doctor (we all see the same wonderful doctor) told her in the nicest way he knows how she was huge and looked miserable. He had her get an ultra sound that told him the baby was 8.5 pounds. With the baby being that big he wanted to get her started. Jessica was not dilated and really wasn't ready but he didn't want the baby getting much bigger. Jessica checked into the hospital Monday night and of course her cervix wasn't ready so she had to have some sort of medicine injected into her for 6 hours, then they would start the pitocin. Once the pitocin started things moved very slowly. She was at a 3 forever. Then she made it to a 4 and things really stared rolling! She made it to an 8 in under 5 hours. Then the problems began. Jessica's birth canal was not big enough for the baby. After 3 hours of her trying to get her head out. They decided to go ahead and do the c-section. Harlee came at 6:20pm. She was 7 pounds 4 ounces (the ultra sound was a little off) and 21 inches long. She has a head full of straight dark hair! Jessica is doing great and so is Harlee. 
She hadn't had her bath yet!
