My little Princess Victoria (aka Tori)
She was born 9/3/2010 at 7:58 PM Pacific Standard Time.
She weighed 9 pounds 12 ounces and is 22" long (poor momma).
We went in yesterday to induce labor at 8:30 in the morning and for most of the day just watch the contractions get stronger and more painful. Finally at around 5 PM my wife (Tamatha) asked for the all powerful Epideral to releave some of her pain. As the anesthegiolgist (spelling?) was preparing her tools to do the epideral Tamatha's water broke, it is unbelievable how much water comes out btw. So, now we know we are on our way to delivery and my wife gets the epideral. The doctor comes in and says that Tamatha is dialated to 6 cm and has about an hour to go before she can start pushing. 10 minutes later Victorias heart rate begins to decrease so the doctor checks again and says it is time to start pushing.
Victoria wanted to come out face first (just like her brother) so the doctor had to use suction to help pull her out so she has a little suction ring on her head. I call it my angel's halo.
Tamatha was a trooper throughout the entire thing. I don't know a man on the planet that could go through the pain of childbirth and not complain about it for the rest of his life. I am so proud of Tamatha.
Thanks for everyones well wishes and support over the last week. <3 to you all.
