Hello all. Laura had the baby! Both Laura and the kid are doing great. This from Jane who is the privileged one who actually gets calls from the Laura and Gow:
This is the very proud and enthusiastic Aunt Jane announcing the birth and passing on more details on my new niece on behalf of her proud parents Neil & Laura Gowan:
Sally Jane was born at 12:12 pm (central time). She is 7 pounds 4 ounces and 21 inches long. She has a little bit of blackish/brownish hair, hazelish eyes, and a loud cry.
Laura sounded GREAT...just the same as when I talked to her last night. Of course she had lot of details to be share so here goes.... Most of all she said it went fast...they're still sort of in shock!
She started having light cramps about 10pm last night and then had contractions off and on all night. She was able to sleep some between them. About 4am she woke Neil/Gow up cuz she couldn't do it alone anymore. They got to the hospital at 8:25 this morning, and she was already 5cm dilated. At 9:36 she was 6-6.5 cm dilated and at that point had an epidural which she said was the biggest blessing from God! At 11:39 she started pushing and she was in this world not much later at 12:12 p.m.
They (Laura and Neil/Gow) are both exhausted. When she called, Sally Jane was in the nursery getting a bath and they were eating something I think. Before that Sally Jane had already nursed for an hour and 45 minutes.
Oh, of course you have to have "funny" story in the midst of this and that's that when Neil cut the cord, blood splattered all over him. =) Wouldn't be a Laura story without that!
We all join together in celebrating God's precious gift and praising Him!!!
Proudly, Auntie Jane
P.S. Watch their blog for photos soon...if you don't have that address, let me know!
