Jason and I went to the hospital around 4am because I had been having contractions that were 5 minutes apart, and they were getting pretty uncomfortable. At the hospital we found out I was already dilated to 6cm. Thank goodness I wasn't too late to get the epidural. It was getting hard to breathe through the contractions.
Here I am all hooked up and ready to go. Unfortunately, baby wasn't quite ready. It took a while to get past 9cm.
Leiohu Lily YiTsai Chen was born at 8:11am. She weighs 7lbs. 10 oz. and is 20 inches long. We can'y believe how much she weighs because all of her sisters were LESS THAN 7lbs. Jason was going to cut the umbilical cord, but found out he couldn't because it was wrapped around baby's neck--loosely. Everything turned out okay though.
Here she is!
The nurse who helped get me ready was Vickie. This is a picture of the nurse who helped with the delivery (after changing shifts) with Leiohu and me. Her name was Jodie.

Later, Jason went home to get mom and the girls. They were all SO anxious to see their new sister.
Here's Anuhea with her newest little sister:
