On January 8th at 3:32 PM Maggie arrived into our lives and they are sure to be changed forever, and we couldn't be happier. We actually thought Maggie was going to arrive on January 7th and we packed our bags and packed the car and headed for the hospital. However, after being at the hospital for serveral hours and walking up and down the maternity hallways several hundred times, they sent us home. Holly suffered with contractions at home and I decided to go to work and about two hours later I got the call that Holly's dad was taking her to the hospital; needless to say I made it home in record time. When I arrived Holly was about 5 centimeters dialated and was in a lot of pain every 2-3 minutes when a new contraction hit. For the next hour or two Holly was in a great deal of pain as she dialated to 7 centimeters and she was unsure if she was going to "make it" through the ordeal of labor, even though I had no doubt of her toughness. At 7 centimeters an epidural was put in place and we were riding high with the expectations that it was going to take several hours for her to get fully dialated.....but we were wrong. A little over an hour later the nurse was surprised when she told us that Holly was almost fully dialated. Holly did great and about 40 minutes later she was holding our little Maggie.
