She is here!
Introducing Caroline Nicole Croft.
We will call her Lainey.
Saturday, 2/28/15, I woke up feeling Braxton Hicks contractions about 5 AM.
We started timing the contractions from 7:30 to 8:30 AM. They were 5 minutes apart, lasting 1 minute each for the hour so Dan called Aunt Nicole to make sure she was available to take Burke. I called the Dr. and we started packing up the car to go to the hospital.
This photo was taken at 9:15 AM when we were checking into the hospital.
Little did we know that Lainey was going to be born an hour and a half later at 10:45 AM.
She was so eager to enter this world that I didn't have time for an epidural. Yes, she came fast and natural. While that is not what we had intended, we are very happy that she is healthy.
Lainey weighed 7 lbs, 15 oz. and was 19.5" long.
Born at 10:44 AM with LOTS of dark hair.
Just a few minutes old.
We moved into our Mother and Baby room and Lainey's eyes were already very alert.
