Alexandra Anne Garrand.. 9 pounds and 9.4 oz, 22.5 inches long..

Yesterday, 9/3, Deb had the baby at 6:45 PM. We went in at 6 AM for an induction and it proved to be quite a long day. If it weren't for the fact that the first epidural she received did not really work, it might've gone smoother. We got in the room about 6:30 AM so the whole process from induction to birth took a little over 12 hours. The actual labor part when Deb pushed took about 35 minutes. The second epidural worked very well and she was able to even sleep a little just before pushing our sweet little girl out. :) The whole day was very exhausting and we slept very little. At the moment I'm home doing laundry and showering. Soon I'll go get Sandy, bring her home, and come back to sleep before I work tonight. Deb's Mom is also with her right now, she was here sleeping last night. I'm really speechless and can't think of much to say. I know I wasn't the one to actually give birth, but I am exhausted both mentally and physically. I'll post pictures and more details later when I've had the chance to gather myself. Until later.. --------
