The Dawdling Baby

Caroline "Callie" Jean Wuerfel arrived at 5:35 p.m. on November 19th. She had quite a trip!

Sarah went to her scheduled appointment on the morning of her due date, November 18th. The doc said her blood pressure was a little high and suggested labor be induced. Sarah spent 20 hours in natural labor with the petocin before having the epidural at 8 a.m. the next morning. Eight hours after that, after several pushing episodes, we went in for a c-section. Callie was still tough to get out! Sarah's strong stomach muscles and Callie's stubbornness took several docs to overcome, but eventually she was here and in our arms.

Later in the suite, the first meal I had in almost a day and a half felt like I had won a reward challenge on Survivor!
