Wow! So after two false alarms we were nervously excited when Shannon's water broke. I mean when your water breaks its pretty hard to mistake it for anything else but after two previous trips to the emergency room only to be sent home, we were getting a little gun shy.
Shannon had been out of work and essentially in a state of static labor for 20 days. We were both being worn out by the physical demands and the anticipation; so of course an overnight delivery was exactly what we needed.
With Graham there were no signs of labor until Shannon's water broke and then Graham was born three hours later. With baby #2 things couldn't have been more different....at least Shannon got an epidural this time.
Start the clock! Shannon's water broke at 10:15pm on July 25, 2011
Nearly eight hours later, Eliana Maria Pardo was born...and was promptly put in "time out"
Healthy girl!
The exhausted but happy family!
