Sunday evening Jodi and I dropped the kids to Grandma Nielson's house and headed to Cedar City so that she could be induced. At about 10:00 pm they began the induction. I will spare you the details but it involved a foley bulb and some pitocin. By about 8:00 am, her body was well on its way to being in labor. They gradually upped the pitocin levels and by 2:00 the doctor broke her water and a little later she received her epidural. The baby girl was born at 5:28. She weighed 6 pound 15 ounces and was 20 inches long. It only took one big push, there was no tearing, and the little girl began eating right away. I call her little girl because she didn't get her name of Anna until the next morning just prior to the birth certificate lady coming in. Jodi's mother was there for the delivery and she is always so helpful. The hospital in Cedar City in my opinion is the best. They always take such good care of us. It is definitely worth the drive. Cameron, Jodi's sister, came up just after Anna was born to take some pictures and visit. It was very nice of her. We waited our 24 hours and headed home. Everything went so smoothly and as planned. Jodi's recovery has been exceptional. We are really blessed. Enjoy the pictures.
