Beautiful Baby Elise!!!

These pictures uploaded crazy out of order, but this is my first meeting with baby #3! What a joyful moment!
Last bump shot for pregnancy number three!
Daddy and daughter
Kate meeting Elise for the first time!
Lily's turn
Eyes open!
We are excited to have her here with us, and really excited to have a name for our precious Christmas present. Even though my mom had warned me that third labors are always different, this one was pretty much the same as the other two: quick and uneventful, which is great but makes for a pretty boring story! But here is the breakdown
1:45 pm arrive at Hospital
2:15 pm start Pitocin
5:30 pm ask for an Epidural (sorry have to wait until a C-section is done)
Slight panic as I wait for my Doctor to come and break my water, I definitely wanted the pain meds before that happened and the Dr. was due any minute!
6:30 pm Celebration! Epidural given and Dr. arrive at the same time!
6:45 pm water broken
8:24 pm baby is born!!!
And that is how we do it at the Heckert house. Thank you Mom, so much, for short labors.
