Mike (Clipper) and Laura had their baby after a long 9 months! On January 17th at 10:06pm! Laura and I were planning a fun girls weekend of baking cookies and watching movies until the baby came (due date was the following tuesday). After her 3pm check up on that friday I was to come over, Laura called to cancel our date and let me know that she was 6 cm dialated and she was going to head to the hospital in an hour or so. You could tell she cancelled with a huge grin!
I called AJ and he paniced and called Clipper to make sure he knew... of course he knew but Aj was afraid he was in a closed area and Laura couldn't get in touch with him. (Mike works at Northrop with us) AJ and I left work an hour later and raced home for a bite to eat and called Clipper to see if he wanted anything to eat. He requested a large drink and two double cheese burgers (a true father-to-be). We got in sweats and brought a book and headed to the hospital around 8pm. Laura's mom had just gotten there too and we got to go in and see Laura hooked up to everything and she was all excited and had only had a few bad contractions at that point. She was about 8cm dialated at 9pm. We went out in the waiting room at 9:30pm and Laura's mom joined us 15 minutes later and said the nurse broke her water and she was going to start pushing.
After 14 minutes of NATURAL labor, Isela Gabrille Maragni entered this world! Perfectly healthy! We got to go in and see and hold the baby about 15 minutes after they had cleaned her up and everything. So cute! Her skin had no blemishes at all! Mike and Laura are super excited and I went to spend the whole next day in the hospital with Laura to keep her company! I learned a lot about new mother's and all the healing and breat feeding details I'd ever need to know!
After being almost 2 weeks old, Isela came to our house as her first trip for super bowl! The whole family came, even Scotch, the dog!
