On Saturday, September 21, 2013, Eleanor decided she was ready to enter this world on her own - she wasn't going to wait around for Sunday morning for Mom to be induced! I started having contractions around 2:00 pm on Saturday afternoon, and after laboring at the house for about 2 1/2 hours, I told Will he should probably shower because we needed to head to the hospital. When we got there shortly before 6:00 pm, it was clear that she was indeed on her way! My water broke while I was getting my epidural around 7:00 and by 8:00, it was time to start pushing.
Eleanor Grace Kent was born at 8:39 pm, weighing 6 pounds, 13 ounces, and was 19 1/4 inches long. We never would have expected such a teeny-tiny little thing, considering her big brother was 8 pounds! All went well with delivery and recovery, and we came home on Monday morning. Things are going well here at home - she has her witching hour, though, and is pretty fussy from about 12-2 every morning! That's okay with me, though - at least she's got strong lungs! Hehe!
We are so proud of our new family of four. Cohen adores her and is a terrific big brother. It's certainly been an adjustment to having two kiddos. We are still figuring out how to make sure Cohen has his time and we don't occupy ourselves constantly with Eleanor, but I'm sure that's how it is with every family! Needless to say, we couldn't be happier!
