We really couldn't have asked for a more perfect labor and delivery. I started going into labor around 3am, labored at home until 8:30am, checked into the hospital at 9am and Anna was born at 11am. Whew! Fast and furious ... exactly what I was hoping for! So fast, in fact, that by the time I asked the doctor for an epidural, it was too late.
My mom and Cory were there with me providing the most amazing support. And our nurse was my good friend Jenni who fortunately was working that day and was assigned to us -- it was so awesome to have her there with us.
It went so fast, and I was feeling so good, that we requested to be able to leave that afternoon. And we were out of there by 3:30pm! Some people might think that's crazy, wondering why we wouldn't want to stay the night, but for us it was just best to get home to our own bed.
Cole hung out with Brad, Mercedes and the girls during the day and the came to visit us at the hospital. I really had no idea how he would react to Anna and what he would think about me being in the bed and all. It was amazing, really. It was love at first sight! He really just instantly fell in love with her and there was no sense of jealousy at all. You can see in the photos below that he was pretty happy :)
