On Tuesday at 4 am Lyndsey's water broke and she headed to Highland Hospital! Little did she know it would be a while before Kate would actually arrive....one could say Kate is a little on the stubborn side (still cant figure out where she would get such a trait ha). Lyndsey endured 16.5 hours of labor before being taken in for a c-section and Kate was born at 9:06 pm and was 7lbs 10oz and 20 perfect inches long! Lyndsey and Jeremy did wonderful despite their extremely loooong day! I got there around 6:30. I had to pack b/c we were leaving at midnight to head to Knoxville and I did not have a babysitter. Here are some pictures of the waiting room.
Highland was so full there was no waiting room....and the Grandparents and Aunts (me included) were NOT waiting outside of the maternity ward...yeah right! so we made our home on the steps in front of her room !

The wait continues...We were listening for news...really waiting to hear the baby cry! |
|
And more waiting |
|
I tell Kathy to smile and this is what I get... (This is both grandmothers) |
|
I realized I was not in any of the pictures...so I snapped one |
|
After Lyndsey was sent to the OR for a section we had to leave. So we wait (The grandmothers stayed behind at the stairs for the big arrival) |
