NEW Baby!!



7lbs. 14oz. 21 inches long.
(exact same stats as Rebecca at birth!!)


After our due date came and went on Thursday, my Doctor induced me on Friday. Everything went really quick, and it was 1,000 times less stressful/painful as Rebecca's delivery. We checked in around 11 am, got an epidural around 1:00 pm. Around 5:00 we pushed about 4-5 times and little Allison was born at 5:21.




 



 Becca came with Grandma and Grandpa after the birth. She was thrilled about meeting her little "sissy" and worried when they gave her a bath.





The whole recovery process is a little crazy, (and a lot more painful this time around....) but we're home from the hospital and trying to get all settled into being a family of 4. Allison is extremely calm and peaceful (so far!) and we're thrilled that she is finally here!

She is way too cute. I am sorry recovery hasn't gone as well. Isn't nursing the worst the 2nd time around? I hope all is well. I bet Becca will be a huge help. Just teach her how to get diapers and wipes, that saves so much time.

She's perfect, Monica! Congrats! I hope you get feeling better soon.

I kept thinking you would come early with how early you were contracting, but I guess not! :)

Congrats! I'm so glad that the delivery went better this time and that you were able to get the epidural after all. You look way too perky and cute in these pictures to have just given birth! Way to go on another cute little Bauman girl!
