The day we have all been waiting for has finally come. On Tuesday, May 25, 2010 Kara Marie DeWitt was born. She weighed 7lbs 15oz and measured 22inches long. I was due on Saturday and was having no contractions until I went to bed Sunday night. At 9:30 they started and were 10 minutes apart. By midnight I was having them every 6 minutes. At 11:00 p.m. on Monday the midwife broke my water and at 2 a.m. on Tuesday I was ready to start pushing. I pushed for 5 hours. Thankfully I had about 8 minutes in between contractions during which time I was able to sleep. Finally at 7:03 after 34 hours of unmedicated labor our baby girl was born. She was, and is absolutely perfect and looks just like her daddy.
