I have some extra time.

Stacy didn't sleep much sunday night because contractions started. At 8 am she woke me up and soon after that the water broke and we headed downtown to University Hospital. Rush hour wasn't bad so we were here by 9 am and up to the delivery room where we waited, and waited. Stacy's father Don and my mother Betty and my sister Linda arrived soon after we did. Around 7 pm the pain was getting to Stacy so she got a little help thru her IV and that was fine for about 3 hours after that she went for the epidural. It worked wonders and Stacy felt no pain for the rest of the delivery. Millie was face up so that added to the pain and at 1 am the doctor had to perform an episiotomy which made more room for Millie and on the next push Millie came into this World at 1:04 am on 11/11/08. I didn't get to cut the umbilical cord because of the complications during the birth.

Millie was checked out by the nurse and was screaming at the top of her little lungs. She weighed 7 lbs 7 oz (3,374,000 MillieGrams) and was 21 inches long (533 MillieMeters). In the photos you can see a mark on Millie's forehead, this is very common but today they are giving her an MRI just to rule out any problems. If all is normal the mark should fade away by age 2-3. Millie is sucking on her lower lip which is causing some problems with the breast feeding but she has been taking formula from a bottle but in the next day or two we will get her to breast feed or we will just have to pump and feed using a bottle. We have been told tommo


UpDate! the mark on Millie's forehead is not a stawberry hemangiom it is a Port-wine stain so she will have the mark for life but it should shrink a little with time. She takes after Mikhail Gorbachev and one day she might be the President. The MRI came back and there are no problems and she is perfectly healthy. That makes us all very happy.

Here are some photos and a video clip links. I will be adding more photos and video in the near future.
