Harper Annie arrived 2 weeks early at 12:49 p.m. on January 4. She weighed 6 pounds and 14 ounces, and 19 1/4 inches in length. She made her mother very happy with a relatively easy labor! I feel very fortunate and lucky!
The birth story: At 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 3, my water broke. We stayed home until about 5:45 a.m. when the contractions were 5 minutes apart. We arrived at the hospital and got situated. At 7:15 a.m., we were 2 centimeters dialated. By 9 a.m., contractions were coming hard and fast. Got the epidural, and from there things progressed very quickly. By 11:30, we were ready to go. It took about an hour of pushing and our little girl arrived!
Arriving at the hospital, we still hadn't made a decision on a name. Noah really wanted Harper, so that's how we made the choice. Annie, is what my Grandma Sandquist would call me (she always said my mom should have named me Annie). Enjoy the photos below of our baby girl!
This would we my official 38 week photo.
