nico sofia comes to town!

Yesterday, at 3:29PM, Nico was born. It was quite an experience and went by relatively quickly. That morning at 3:40am Bille's water broke. We were very tired and I even tried to convince her that she had just peed the bed. We arrived at the hospital at 6am and by 7-7:30 the contractions began. At 11am the doctor decided that she was beginning acive labor and we were moved to one of the delivery rooms. After 3 doses of Fentanyl she was ready to push. 40 minutes later Nico was born.

It was a great experience and we are so happy. I had to come home today to finish a work project due tomorrow, and Bille comes home tomorrow. Bille did an amazing job through the labor and handled the pain really well. Coming home today I already miss seeing our baby. I always thought newborn babies were kind of ugly but Nico is adorable.
