Thanks for being patient for this post - the internet hasn't been working for most of the day....
It's been an exciting few days for the Mulligans. Carrie and I went to the hospital Friday morning to be induced as she had reached 41 weeks. We got here at 8 but didn't get the meds started till 10 because they had a full house. All of the other inductions were cancelled because lack of rooms! Carrie would have hurt someone if that had happened....
She was fully dilated by 2 am and by 4 am started pushing. That didn't go so well as her contractions sort of fizzled out. She took a good nap for about an hour and then started pushing again at 6:30. Our daughter Mikah Noelle was born at 8:42 Sat morning. She weighed 7lbs 15.6 oz & 20 1/4" long. Mom did great with the very long labor and I have a new respect for moms! That is a lot of work!! She had a sucessful VBAC with no complications.
Baby and mom are doing fine. Mikah is beautiful and feeding great. She has a full head of hair and looks just like her big sister. Ella and Grady stopped by this afternoon to check out the new addition to the family. They did well with the baby but the real test will come when we go home on Monday.
Thanks to everyone for prayers and support (and watching the twins). It's great to have a huge support team around us.
Pictures to come later (sorry - using my computer not Carrie's)
Proud new dad (again)
