As most of you already know, Jennifer Liz Marie Gordon arrived on May 30, 2012 at 4:26 pm. My water broke at 3 am but labor never started naturally. It would have, but we had no idea how long it would take. Once the water breaks you only have 18 hours to get the baby out before infection can happen. So, they thought it best to induce me at 10 am. I was in active labor by 1:15pm. The labor pains came strong and not gradually like natural labor. By 4 I decided I wanted an epidural. Once they got the epidural in it was minutes later that Jennifer was born. I guess my body just needed to relax. I am praising the Lord for giving me such a quick recovery. I am in very very little pain and feel up to most my regular chores around the house. I am trying to rest but I just can't rest when my house is messy lol. So, I will slowly get things back into order and rest in between things. William loves his little sister. Although she is only 5 days old I can't imagine life without her. She fits perfectly into our family and we just love her so much!! Thank you, Lord!
