Nori's Coming Out Party

Wow! She came a lot quicker and easier than we ever expected!! The day before I started feeling low back pain and a sense that she was done cooking and soon to makke her appearance. Throughout the day I tried to stay busy as we were told that "prelabor" could last hours to days. We went for a hike with Bella and then to Home Depot and I ate a big dinner. After falling asleep for a few hours, I got up at 130am to watch a movie because I couldn't sleep and by 3 am I could barely make it up the stairs to wake Pete. The contractions were only 30 seconds long (we were supposed to call when they were a minute long) but after a half hour of that, I made Pete call because they were so close together and strong. They told us to come in and and we were there by 430am and 5cm dilated. By 730 I was ready to push and they let me start a little before 8. She came out after 16 minutes of pushing at 8:11 am on Monday, January 11- Noriana Clare Huynh- an all natural beauty. 7 lbs, 9 oz and 21 inches long!
