It's a Girl!!!

Okay - so you knew that already!! And in case you are wondering - this is not Allie. It is her sister posting on her behalf!
So, you all read about her getting bumped yesterday. Well, she went in this morning at 8:00am and got in relatively quickly. They did an ultrasound and determined that baby girl was still breech and that in fact Aliie was actually starting labour! It was extremely mild though. Well, they lost the bed for a bit and had to wait until about 11:30 to get the ECV done. After 3 good attempts, it was decided by baby girl that she just wasn't going to budge. After the procedure, labour intensified, and when it was clear it wasn't stopping, they decided to go ahead and get her out via c-section.

So............
at 3:38 this afternoon - Mayson McIvor Whittingham joined us! (Not sure on the spelling, just sure on the name!!)
She weighed 6lbs, 6oz and was 20 inches long. She has blue eyes and loads of black, curly hair!! I am sorry that I don't have a photo to show you - but will post one ASAP as she is gorgeous!!! Both mommy and baby are doing great. Allie is quite sore (as she proclaimed to me on the phone "I don't know why ANYONE would voluntarily do a c-section!!"), but doing good. I am going to see her and my new niece tomorrow and taking Kaelen with me as he is excited about meeting his new little sister.

Allie wanted me to post this short message for you all, so you would all know! If I can get the digital camera away from daddy, I will upload a photo for you all! Allie is not expected home until Sunday - but I am sure she will post as soon as she is able!! She will be able to tell this story much better than me - this is just the coles notes version!!
