Jillian Venice Peterson made her debut at 7:54am on August 23rd. She weighed in at 7lbs. 6oz. and was 21 1/4 inches long. The delivery was easy breezy and I couldn't have asked for things to have gone any smoother. I started to have some random but intense contractions around 3:30pm on Saturday but wasn't sure whether they were going to amount to anything. They continued to be pretty sporadic through the evening and when we went to bed around 11:00pm they started to get closer together. I finally woke Nate up at 2:00 and told him I thought we should head to the hospital. We called a friend (thank heavens for Jesica) and within a half hour she was over at the house. By the time I got to the hospital I was dilated to a five and by the time I got my epidural I was at an eight. Because I needed to be on antibiotics for four hours before I delivered, I literally had to hold absoutely still for an hour and a half (they told me not to laugh, cough, or make any sudden movements) because she was ready to come. As soon as the four hours were up, I assumed postion, pushed a couple times, and out she came absolutely perfect!
Jillian has been such a wonderful little addition to our family. The boys think she's the greatest thing ever and Mac told me the other morning that he thinks she gets more beautiful every day. She's super pleasant and easy to have around and for the four nights that we've had her home she's slept all the way through two nights and only woke up once during the other two nights. We are totally 100% in love with her!
