The wait is finally over. We are so excited that our new baby girl is here! Her birth was action packed and makes for a great story. After weeks of contractions and lots of false labor including a trip to the hospital we decided for induction on Friday, July 24. My water was broke and I quickly went into labor. After a couple hours I told Earl I was ready for an epidural. The nurse checked me and I was a 6. 15 minutes later the epidural was in, but no medicine yet. I had them check me and I was a 10! THANK GOODNESS they started loading the epi because within 15 minutes of pushing her head was out............but we still had those shoulders to deal with. Earl had gloves on cause my doctor was letting him help deliver. A nurse at each leg when we realized she was stuck. In a matters of seconds the mood changed and everyone went into over time. One of my legs was being pulled this way and the other leg was being pulled that way. Earl had one finger under babies armpit. Nurses and doctor were pushing on my stomach. I was pushing. And then a nurse JUMPED on the bed, STRADDLED me and started pushing on my stomach!!!!!!!! It was crazy. But out she came with only a little swelling and a little black and blue. No broken bones, no dislocations!! And mom, well I survived relatively well too. All that in just 3 hous:) crazy....!!
Logan seems to be taking it all in stride. She likes having daddy home. She'd rather have me hold the baby and play with daddy then anything else right now. So I guess that makes for an easy transition.
Hannah is showing to be a super easy baby. Not much of a crier. Likes to sleep. Really she just wakes up at night to eat for a few minutes and then goes right back to sleep. So I'm not as exhausted as I expected. She also sleeps through all the noise in the house, which is TOTALLY different than Logan. So all in all we are adjusting well and things are going smoothly.

Congratulations Eastman crew!!!! What a big, beautiful girl you have there! She is adorable! Glad that she is a good baby and looking forward to meeting her soon! Love to you all!
Congrats guys! That's a crazy labor story. Eliot weighed 9 lbs. 11 oz. and I believe that delivering a 9+ baby is a MAJOR achievement. That's great that she's a sleeper that's gonna come in handy :) Hugs!
