6 pounds, 12 ounces
20 inches long
We went to Winnie Palmer on Tuesday morning at 4 am to get induced. We got induced around 6 am and stopped around 8pm... 14 hours of labor and our stubborn child didn't progress. There was a nurse that didn't help at all for 12 hours but I'm not going to get into that. Fact of the matter is we got a C-Section between 8-9 after a new RN came because Makayla was under stress. She was born just before 9 and Courtney had to be separated from her for a couple of hours while she recovered. I went back and forth and took pictures and videos of our baby to show Courtney while she recovered. We finally went upstairs and even though they said our baby will be there before us she still wasn't. We didn't get her until 2 am. We stayed with her for about an hour or so and then sent her to the nursery because we were dead tired.
Had a lot of visitors today... kind of over did it with visitors actually. Was a long stressful day. Courtney is walking a little bit now and we can't believe the baby is here!
It's crazy! All in all we had a good birth. Courtney is in pain still but that's natural with c-sections and I'm helping with everything I can and I'm feeding Makayla and changing diapers. I will now leave you with some pictures from the past few days.

She's not very happy about this.
