Arrival of Naomi Catherine Rinehart

Naomi Catherine Rinehart
Born 8/7/08, 12:28 P.M.
6 lbs, 6 oz.
Both mother and baby are doing great. We’ll add pictures to the blog in the near future when we have access to our home PC.

Details: We started the pitocin drip at 7:15 A.M. which sped up the contractions that Lexi was already having naturally. Lexi was already dilated at 3 cm when we arrived and they gave her an epidural and broke her water once she got to 5 cm. This sped things up quite a bit, so much so that the Doctor arrived after Naomi’s head was already peaking out. Lexi pushed twice (I kid you not) and the baby was out.

Naomi got to meet her grandparents, some of her aunts and uncles and of course her big sister, Ella. Ella has really enjoyed pushing all the buttons on every machine in the hospital and seems to like her sister pretty well too.

Congratulations on Naomi! I bet Ella will be a great big sister! Please tell her Miss Mindy misses her and I look forward to seeing her soon.
