Caitlyn Anna Tippetts



So she is here! Last night we had a false alarm when Shalae thought her water had broken and we came to the hospital to check. So we went home with the only consolation being that they had us on the list to be induced sometime today. They told us they usually call at 6 am to let you know when you can come in, but the hospital was pretty busy and they didn't call until 3 pm. They started Shalae on pitocin about 3:30 and we hung out with not a whole lot happening until about 8:30. The doctor came in and broke her water, for real this time, and things progressed really quickly from then on out.



Caitlyn was ready to come at 9:30 and let out her first cry at 9:43 pm. She weighs 7 lbs 12 oz and is 19 inches tall.





Shalae posted some more good photos on her blog
