The Story
9 months ago ... skip ahead ... Saturday April 26 Shauna started having minor contractions while we were in South Bend watching our Brother-in-Law coach a Lacrosse game. (He won!) We returned to Fort Wayne and Sunday morning we did all we could think of to keep our mind off the contractions. After lunch at Panara Bread we timed the contractions and went to the hospital. Shauna was having some back pain and once she was 3 cm dilated they admitted her into the hospital. After the epideral we thought we would have a decent night's sleep until 5 am. After laying down for 1 hour the nurse came in and said it was time to call the doctor. Mikayla was "sunny-side up" meaning she was facing up not down, thus Shauna's back pain. The doctor was able to turn her and once she was turned she came right out. Shauna would probably say with lots of hard work and pushing but hey she had the epideral, remember. She is a very good baby, pretty quiet, great eater, fast learner pretty much her father's daughter :-)
