Good thing it was an induced labor, because baby Lexi came in to the world weighing
8 lbs. 8 oz., and 19 in. in length.
Congratulations to my sister by proxy, Jennifer, her hubsy Cassidy, and to the new big brother Boston!!

Thank you so much Jenn and Cass for having me be apart of this! It was one of the most amazing things I have ever beheld. I realize baby's come into the world everyday, but many people go a lifetime without ever witnessing such a special miraculous event. And thank you to Cass for getting a little too gun-shy to cut the umbilical cord.... I was more than happy to take over. I think the Doctor and nurses were a little creeped out by my enthusiasm and interest in everything going on down there. It just made me so much more excited about becoming a nurse. And while I have mostly had my eye on working in the E.R's and O.R's, This experience made me just as eager to work in Labor and Delivery. Hopefully I will get to dip my toes in all of units/wards during my clinicals so that I can really find my "nitch".

I wish terribly that I had more pictures to post but I used Jenn's camera for the majority of the time, and she has not been able to upload them yet.
