Email from Krys:
Vanessa Barrett Blades was born at 9:07 am 11/12/08---Mom and Dad and Baby Nessa are doing well. We arrived at the hospital at 7:42 and baby was born and hour and a half later! She was very eager to make her arrival!
That Krys! Her babies are always early. Not like the rest of us that had to suffer through 2 1/2 weeks of lateness because we had to move when we were 8 months pregnant. No doctor is really all that excited to be a part of your blessed event when you show up in overtime. I had Taylor in Arizona and there was one hospital that covered all this sprawl of young family expansion. I think there were 30-40 babies born daily at that hospital, so they had this crazy system for induction. Everyday past your due date, you could call the hospital at 9:00 am to see if they had room for you to come in to be induced. For 2 1/2 weeks, there was no room in the inn. I would hang up the phone and cry. One day, they called me and told me I would need to be there in an hour if I wanted a spot. She was born an hour and a half later. She just needed a little push. Note to self: don't move when your're 8 months pregnant.
I can't wait to hear all the details like how big she is, if Krys had time for an epidural, if she has hair, and what sister Sofie has to say about the whole deal. Nick was three when Taylor was born and he used to tell people that this one was too loud and we were thinking about taking her back for a new one that was a little more quiet. Nice.
Can't wait to meet you Vanessa!
