The Pitocin started around 7:00, and Becky really began feeling it a short time later. Here she is with a centimeter count.
Blessed be the hands of the CRNA. She got her epidural at 9:30ish and got a reprieve from the insane squeezing.
An hour later, she had progressed from a 5 to a 9.5 and felt those primal urges, though completely devoid of pain.
The following movie has some flying uterine matter. Beware.
And there she is. Sticky and sweet, like a carmel apple, but without the stick.
Nora Deanne Tolman was born at 10:48 AM.
She weighed 8 pounds 1 ounce. She's a little less bald than her father, and she's almost as beautiful as her mother.
Sam is very dissappointed that she couldn't start dressing Nora up and take her home today. Lucy was mostly interested in the rolling stool.

She is so cute! I wish we were closer so I could come and cuddle her. I guess when we're there this summer we'll just have to trade babies for a little bit and make up for lost time. :)
I hope you're sleeping lots and doing great! Love you!
Gelukwensen, Jon en Becky. Nora is mooi.

What a gorgeious family! I'm glad everything went well, we love you guys!!!!!!
Just to clarify, JON was updating my status while I was in labor, are you guys crazy? This is the first time I've been on the computer to do anything. My hands would have been too wet to stay on the keyboard. Jon got on the computer inbetween contractions or breaks from the wonderful, glorious, God-sent epidural. Thanks for all your comments, you guys are all great. I wish you all could see her in person, she's just beautiful!
