Sunday's Child is bonny and blithe, and good and happy.

Today we welcomed Lola Kate into the world. Although she was due Friday and I have been having painful contractions for a couple weeks, she decided today was the day. Contractions started about 9 last night (like every other night this week) and by 3am, they were still going strong about 3 minutes apart. Matt and I got to the hospital about 4am and by the time I was checked into a room, the contractions had slowed down to every 8 minutes (like every other night this week). I was beginning to think she would NEVER come out. But thankfully she arrived at 9:30 weighing 8 lbs 5 ou, 19 1/2 inches long.Her first bath...loving her hands. She's going to be a tall one.Grayson and Matalley were pretty tickled. Matalley says she is going to change the poopy diapers. She also wanted to wait, after noticing that Lola was about to receive a shot, to see Lola cry. Not sure if it was for sympathy or pleasureShe took a big swallow of gunk on her way out so she's acting full and not nursing. Prayers are appreciated that she will eat soon.
