Chip's official due date was 2/26, but a couple factors led to an early arrival. At our 37 week sonogram, Chip was measuring pretty large and with a few weeks to go, the doctor was a little worried about the delivery. Plus, I was pretty darn ready to be done with this pregnancy. So we scheduled an induction at the hospital for Thursday night. At 7pm, I took a pill to kick start some contractions and it sure worked. It worked so well I got some pain meds at 2am, but the contractions overrode them and by 4am the epidural was in. At 9:29am after only 20 minutes of pushing, out came our little Chip and much to everyone's surprise, she was a girl! I was shocked. Our little Josie had arrived.
9 lbs 11 oz, 22 inches long and absolutely perfect.
Ready to get started...

Posing in front of our picture in the hospital lobby. Almost 2 years later... how time flies.
All loaded up and ready to head home!
