Heather Paige Zito

She's finally here!
Heather Paige Zito was born on Monday at 6:00 p.m. in Billings. She was 7 lbs, 6 oz, and 20 inches long. She is very precious and has a full head of light brown hair and big dark eyes. She doesn't really look like either one of us yet but is still as cute as could be.
The pregnancy over all has been pretty good. It was hard sometimes with school rotations but we hung in there. I finished 3 weeks ago and it was nice to prepare for the baby. I went to the doctor last Thursday and he wanted to know if I would like to be induced on Monday. I've never really been for inductions but when your 9 months pregnant, you become a little desperate. He didn't really have a reason why, so I guess I became a member of the "elective induction" club. We headed to the hospital Monday morning about 7:00. At first, nothing really exciting happened but by 2:00 things were really starting to come into action. Things started to become more than I could handle so I had my epidural around 3:00 and by 5:00 was ready for "fun". I think it was at this point I learned a very valuable lesson, epidurals are not 100% effective. In fact, mine was almost completely gone by the time I was ready to push thus leading to the most painful ordeal I have ever been through in my life (even more than with Aden). Luckily, Nathan stayed with me through the whole time (even after many discussion over the last 9 months of him not being in the room). I was very thankful to also have my mother, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law help me too. After s short time, though it didn't feel like it, Heather was born.
Things have been pretty good so far. I've had to recover a little more this time than with Aden, but time heals all wounds. Heather's a cute little baby, and her dad is very fond of her too. I would definetly say that they have bonded. =) Everything else is going good, except for the sleep but that will come with time too. I love being a mom to a new baby and it's so exciting to start again. Hopefully now time will slow down. =)
