The Early Bird Gets the Baby!

Our sweet little Latham is here! Mary Claire was born at 12:23 this afternoon. She was 7 pounds 10 ounces, and 20 1/4 inches long. When we arrived at 5:30 this morning, I was already four centimeters dilated and 80% effaced, plus I was having contractions every 3-4 minutes. I knew I had been uncomfortable the past few days, but had no idea I was in labor! Anyway, the doctor broke my water at 6:00 a.m., and by 11:30 I was pushing! The whole day was so easy, and we are all feeling great! I am already unhooked from everything, so I can walk around. I'm on Robbie's laptop right now and haven't downloaded pictures, but I'm working on it! Mary Claire is really a cute little chickie with round cheeks and sweet disposition. I love all of you so much and can't tell you how appreciated all of your prayers are!
