V started having contractions at around 4am Sunday morning. By around 8am they were getting closer together and more intense, so we called the hospital and they told us to come in. After getting settled in the room V got her epidural at around 10am and by 11:20 the doctor was in the room getting ready to deliver. Penelope was born at around 11:45am and it was awesome. Nothing like E's birth. V delivered and it only took about 4 contractions, there was no episiotomy and no forceps. In fact the whole thing went so well, it just made me even madder at Dr. Judd (aka The Butcher, the "doctor" who delivered E") P was 6lbs 14 oz and 18 inches long. She has quite a bit of hair (as you can see) and she is a very quite little baby. I think E made more noise in the first five minutes of her life than P will make in the first five days.
Mariu Kamila and Jefferson arrived Saturday evening. We tell Mariu that she is the "baby whisperer" since both our babies came with in hours of Mariu arriving. They have been a big help in keeping E entertained and all of us fed with delicious food! Anyway, here are some pictures from the last few days...
