My water broke around 10, so I called Spencer and then the Dr. They saw me at 1 and I was 2.5 cm, we checked into the hospital at 2 pm. At 6, they induced me, at 2:30 am, I was only 3.5 cm. We opted for the epidural since I was exhausted and there were some health concerns for the baby and me. The Dr. stopped by at 5 am and said he could deliver me or come back after the Cesarean he had to do. Since Spence and I were so tired, I told him we would rest and then deliver later. At 7:30 am, the Dr. came and we prepped for delivery. I pushed for about 30 min. and she arrived! Spencer got to deliver her, that was a very special thing for him!
Claire Elizabeth Davenport was born on August 8, 2008 at 8:16 am, weighing 8 pounds and 2 ounces, all in room 8. We jokingly call her "Ocho" because of all the 8's that were present as she came into the world. She is absolutely perfect and we are enamored by her. She sleeps a ton, cries very little, is a healthy little eater, and loves to snuggle. We have had many visitors help welcome to the world! Thanks for all your love and prayers!
