Allie's Arrival!

Allie Maureen Vincent was welcomed into this world at 6:13 am on Wednesday December 10th. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 15 oz., and was 20 inches long. She is healthy and beautiful (of course). Everything went really well and REALLY fast! I woke up at midnight having really strong contractions and decided to let Luke sleep while I timed my contractions to make sure it was the real deal :-) Finally at 4:30 am I decided I should wake Luke up and let him in on it. Luke's dad graciously came over to the house around 5 to stay with Wyatt and we headed to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital around 5:20 am, the nurse checked me and I was already dialated to an 8!! The first thing I said was, "Oh no, its too late for an epidural!" They quickly moved us into labor and delivery, the doctor came in with a few minutes, broke my water, and she was born at 6:13! Giving birth naturally is quite and experience let me tell ya! I can't say I'd totally recommend it :-) However, I wouldn't change it for anything. I am grateful for the experience...I think :-)

That day the Tri City Herald (our local newspaper) came and interviewed us and took pictures and wrote a story on the history of the Vincent family boys and how we finally got a girl! you can check out the article at the website below. Pretty funny! It made the front page...there obviously wasn't much news that day :-)
