well we finally did it! penelope anne hoffman has made her arrival - and needless to say things have been a bit crazy since we welcomed this gorgeous girl into our lives. sorry for the blog delay! well ms penelope you finally arrived on june 3, 2010 at 7:23 pm. weighing in at a perfect 6 lbs 10 oz and 19 1/2 inches long and looking so incredibly beautiful. was definetely an eventful day. we went in the am for our amnio to make sure your little lungs were ready to go and of course we had to do it twice because - shocker - you were "uncooperative." - you little stinker. but all was well so they sent us up to labor and delivery!
we started the induction with pitocin around 1:00pm and started moving very very slowly. mom only made it to about 2 cms before ms penn started drama again. i had a full placental abruption (partial is what we had in april and put us on bed rest for 7 weeks). this was a lot worse - happened about 6:45 and things got crazy. from there they did an emergency c section and stopped the traditional labor. mom bleed a lot but baby penn looked healthy the whole time. dr. laue arrived asap, mom got an epidural and we had the c section and penelope was out all by 7:23 - quick! was scary, painful, terrifying and then suddenly amazing. and then you were here :) i have lots of catching up to do on this blog to talk about your first week - but wanted to at least let the world know you had arrived and post some early baby pictures of the most beautiful angel in the world. dad and i are so proud and so happy to finally be able to hold you and know you are safe and healthy.... we have to thank dr. laue for keeping you so perfectly healthy - looks like bedrest was the right choice and all worked out so well in the end. and every second was more than worth it. you are amazing penelope anne. we love you so much.
