Introducing Julia Councill Brown

Ryan, Owen, and I are pleased to announce the arrival of our sweet little baby girl. She took her sweet time to start making her way into the world but once we coxed her into coming she sped out into the world with a furry. Here is how it went down:

6:45am - check in to the hospital
8:00am - pitocin started; 2c dilated
9:00am - contractions were very recognizable and slightly uncomfortable; 3c dilated
10:30am - I might have shed a tear or two because I was hurting so badly during contractions; 4c dilated
11:15am - epidural was in and I was feeling awesome!
12:30pm - 10c dilated and ready to push
1:05pm - I pushed a total of 4 times and she was here. It was a crazy fast and easy labor, I couldn't believe it. 

Weighing in at 8.1lbs and 19" long she is chubbier than Owen and has the cutest most kissable cheeks. She's already a Daddy's girl and he too is already wrapped around her little finger! Here are some sweet pictures of our new little girl!
