Welcome to Macy Jane! This is not her greatest pic to date, but I'm limited still with being in the hospital. More great pics to come, I promise. She is an absolute doll and I instantly fell in love with her. She is truly a pleasure to be with.I was scheduled to be induced on Sunday morning at 6:00 a.m., but they called Sat. night and said they could start me sooner because my doc was there all night. We ended up going in about 1:30 A.M. By the time we checked in, my doc broke my water at 2:55 and started pitocin. It was quick, fast, hard labor right away. I requested the epidural at 3:50, and it's a good thing I did because I almost lost my window of opportunity. I dilated from a 3 to a 10 in less than an hour. Crazy! Long story short, she slid out quickly at 4:55, exactly 2 hours later. She's quick! I love that about her. She nursed great right away. Smart, too! And an over-acheiver, because she filled 2 poopy diapers in the first 24 hours instead of the required one. The doctor said the epidural slowed me down a half hour, so if I had gone into labor at home, she doubts I would have made it to the hospital. Yea for induction. It was my doctor's quickest induction ever.
So now, I'm just enjoying some relaxing time in the hospital, just getting to know her. She's a great baby. 7 lbs 10 oz of love! She makes adorable little noises and is very easy so far. Thanks to all of you for your love and support...especially thanks to my mom and neice who took care of Parker when he woke up with stomach flu yesterday! Typical! All is well and we will be home soon.

Macy, you are a doll. I hate going home at night and having to leave you. Thank you, Honey for getting her here safe and sound. I know it was a long, arduous, pregnancy this time around. She is as beautiful as her Mommy! Love You!
WoW ~ 2 hours Liz??? That totally makes up for a long pregnancy! Great job I love that she's quick, smart and an over-achiever ~ that makes an un-nervous Mom when our new little ones arrive!
Are you kidding??? Parker has the stomach flu?? Sheesh woman ~ let's see what else you can deal with while bringing that beautiful Macy Jane (I love the name BTW!!) to your little cute family. Well.. not so little anymore!! 4 children is a huge feat in itself!! Great job Momma!!!
She's so beautiful!! I can't wait to meet her in person. Enjoy your vacation at the hospital :) It's like being at the hotel, room service and all :)
Bill is the sweetest. She is beautiful!!! What a crazy labor. I am SO glad you didn't have a too-quick-to-make-it-to-the-hospital experience--YIKES! Congrats! Keep the pictures coming when you can!
She is sooo cute. I'd be lying if I didn't admit she makes me want another little girl. So glad the delivery went well. It's a good thing you got induced instead of delivering her in the car like my sis-in-law's sister (They named the baby Carly!)
I can't wait to meet her in real life. I'm sorry to hear about Parker!
Poor Parker, so sorry his timing wasn't the best for getting sick.
Congrats on that beautiful girl! How fun, I bet Emi is thrilled! Can't wait to see more pictures.
Beautiful! Congrats to you!
CONGRATS!!! I'm so happy for your family! She is gorgeous.
Hope Parker's feeling better soon! Perfect timing...
we are so excited for you! she is so precious and I think from that picture that she looks like Quinn but seriously who knows b/c they change so fast! Congratulations on having a fast, and easy delivery and of course for your beautiful little girl!!
Congratulations on your beautiful little Macy. I will have to let Madie know!
Congratulations Liz and family. I love her little pursed lips in the shape of an "O". So adorable.
She's a doll! And I love the name, too. Hope you all stay far, far away from Parker's flu bug! I wish I was closer so I could bring dinner and hold that baby girl...
She's gorgeous! What a crazy, awesome super quick delivery! Those are the best I think....no waiting around for the action, just in out and on your way! Tan was my 4 hour labor and Bree was my 3....2 is AMAZING!!!! Way to go! Glad she's here! Can't wait to see her in person!
