The second Whitney girl has finally joined our family. She was two days past her due date, and six days past the day I wanted her to come. But she's here, and we couldn't be more excited! My water broke Monday afternoon at 4, and I was in the hospital by 5pm with an IV and antibiotics. I wasn't going to make the same mistake that I made with Brooke. There was no pitstop to Chipotle on our way to the hospital! The birth was completely different than Brooke's. Very calm and smooth. Low stress, and much longer!
She was finally born at 4 am. It was a long, painful night. I was shocked to see a head full of black hair! She also was one inch longer than Brooke, and a full pound heavier. 20.5 inches, and 7 lbs 10 oz.
Brooke is struggling with the transition. At some point I know she'll be happy that Kate has joined our family. Until then, Tom and I will have to be happy for her!
