Introducing....





Sage LuAnn Jorgenson! She's finally here. Born on August 10, weighing in at 8 pounds 7 ounces and 22 inches long. Yes, she's a good size baby. She has blond hair, super long fingers and toes, and Jake's mouth and nose. She's super cute and we're so excited to have her here.

For those who want some details... I went in to be induced at 6:30. I was of course still a 1. At 1:00 I was a 2. Then my body started moving. The contractions picked up, but I thought I'd wait as long as I could stand it for the epidural because I didn't want to slow anything down now that things were happening. Big mistake. I didn't realize that the anesthesiologist wasn't in the hospital. It took 45 minutes for me to get my epidural. It seemed like an eternity. Right before they put the epidural in they checked me and I was complete and ready to push. Only problem was I was still dying of pain. Anyway, they finally got me numb and gratefully I was able to push without dying. I only had to push for 30 minutes this time!

So the pictures definitely aren't great. I'm sure we'll get some better ones on. But just so you get the idea, here you go. Enjoy!

Very exciting! I was very happy to load your page and see a picture of a beautiful baby! I have no idea how you could wait to push while the epidural kicked in, though; it's amazing how different bodies do pregnancy and delivery differently. She is very cute and I'm very happy for you! Good luck with the transition.

She is so beautiful. I want to hold her right now!

Now, let me tell you a couple of things. First, never again make the mistake of waiting on an epidural. Where did you contract that form of crazy that made you do that?

And second, my goodness, why do you look so perfect after just having a baby?
