The Anderson Family: Cora Nicole Anderson. . . Almost a Month Later. . . Ooops : )

Well, once again I have been a TERRIBLE blogger!!! I am sure that anyone that does read this blog already knows that we had our sweet little girl about a month ago. She was born on April 23rd at 4:45 pm. She is absolutely so much fun and we LOVE her to death!!!!!!

We were planning on being induced on the 25th of April, but luckily little Cora decided to come on her own. I was so glad. My water broke on Sunday night (22nd) at about 9pm. It was almost exactly how it happens in the movie . . . one minute I just feel like I'm wetting my pants, and the next there is a puddle on the floor of our living room hahahaha!!! We got all of our stuff together and got on our way to the hospital and arrived at about 10:30. I was in active labor by about 1 am. I was told that I couldn't get my epidural until I was dilated to a 4, but it didn't take too long, I was only having to deal with labor pains without pain meds for about 4 hours. After the epidural, everything went by way fast for me. I got to sleep and just relax and watch TV. THANK YOU HEAVENLY FATHER FOR WHO EVER INVENTED THE WONDERFUL EPIDURAL : ) At about 3:00 the following afternoon, the nurse told me I was ready to start pushing, and boy was I ready!!! At about 3:30 I started pushing. I had to push for about an hour and half before our little girl decided to grace us with her presence : ) It was the most amazing feeling to finally see her and hold her. There was such an over whelming feeling of love between her and I and her daddy, I have never felt that feeling before and am pretty sure I'll never feel it again, it was AMAZING!!!

The past few weeks have been great. I love being Cora's Mommy. She is such a good baby. She is happy as can be and I couldn't have asked for a sweeter little babe!!!
