Grace Catherine Ellnor has arrived

Well it was a hell of a night. Denise started contractions at 6 pm while I was on the Belle of Louisville for a work thing. They were 10 minutes apart. After taking a shower and doing her hair we left for the hospital at midnight leaving Grampy in charge of the sleeping Gabe. We get to the hospital and contractions are 5 minutes apart. They proceed through the night between 2- 3 minutes. The nurse only gives Denise the shot to cut the edge of the pain and the doctor had not come in to order an epidural. Needless to say it was a bad night. They had an emergency C-section and they did not monitor denise well. by 6:45 am denise had eaten her pillow and her water broke. At that point the new nurse coming on shift change took charge and Denise was 7 cm and climbing. The doctor almost did not make it to deliver the baby. 4 pushes and grace came into the world at 7:07 am. 6 lbs, 4 oz. 19.5 inches long with a head of black hair.
Denise had the natural child birth she did not want! I was the proudest I have ever been of her. She was amazing to say the least. She is fine now and grace is a beautiful little girl, she looks a lot like gabe.

Pictures will come after I get back home tonight....maybe. Have not been asleep since 5:30 yesterday morning so Gabe and I may go to bed at the same time.
