Introducing... Kennedy Ann Donohoe! She finally made her arrival at 3:55am this morning after a 15 hour labor with 3 hours of pushing. The version went well yesterday and they started me on the petocin shortly after the flip. It took a while to start to feel contractions but I was having regular contractions before I even had the version. I got to 4 cm very quickly however 4-6 took forever. I was at 4cm at 3:30pm and didn't get to 6cm until around 10pm or so. I got to 9.5 cm in less than an hour and then to fully dilated just before midnight. I did a little pushing before midnight but nothing major. I started the non stop pushing at 1:00am and finished at 3:55. She ended up head up so that is why it took so long to push her out and also ended up being so painful. However, it is all worth it!
Here she is right after she was born getting the quick wipe down.
Her weight was 7 lb 6 oz.

And with Grandpa Kaufman...
After all of my post delivery "stuff" which by the way no one tells you how fun that is; I finally got to hold my daughter. What a little princess! I love her!
Daddy went with her to the nursery for her first bath with the nurses.
All cuddled up after her first bath.
They also measured her in the nursery. She was 19.5 in. long. She has beautiful dark brown hair with just a hint of curl and she has super long fingers and toes.
