Lucetta Mae Kroger is here!

Proud papa!! He is smitten!



Man that was tiring!







Lucetta in her homecoming outfit. This was my mother and my homecoming outfit as well!










Finally!! I went into labor early Saturday morning the 20th of September. My contractions were almost immediately every 5 minutes! I labored until 3pm without meds then started triple contractions!! I then decided to go with the drugs. I got to 9 1/2 cm at 2am, finally the pushing would begin. Then my cervix got swollen and we realized that the baby was posterior or in a face up presentation rather then face down with her head and neck best backwards. (made sense I had back labor all day) So after a LONG day of labor I tearfully agreed to a C-section. It was safer for me and the baby!








Lucetta Mae was born at 2:44am on Sunday September 21st! We are so happy she is finally here. She has been a joy so far. She sleeps great, we have to wake her to feed! She has also taken to breast feeding very well. I think I will need the patience for that! Here are a few pics!

She is so cute Jen! I can't wait to meet her! This week ended up being more crazy than I thought...I'll call you and hopefully we can set something up for next week! I'm glad she is sleeping well...

congrats again on baby!! that sucks you had to labor that far and then have a c section. I know from personal experience that c sections suck, but at least you guys are both healthy and nothing happened to you or her:)...hang in there, at least she is sleeping:)..keep the pictures coming

I agree with the two goons above me...she is adorable. Love the sentimental coming home outfit. I also love her name. If we would have had a girl Lucy was one of our favorites. Let me know if Leslie is coming over...I have Fridays off.
