Thursday was the first day of March Madness so Joel and I had lots of games to watch while waiting for Bella. We even posted our brackets in the room with us so we could keep track during our stay. There were too many upsets this year, knocking me out. Boo, for Kansas and Villanova, you did me wrong!
I was admitted to the hospital at 9:00 pm Wednesday night for "prep work" and by Thursday morning I was ready to be induced. But luckily with all the "prep work" an induction wasn't necessary as I was in labor, so we let nature take it's course. It was an easy labor and delivery, thanks to all the amazing doctors and nurses and the epidural of course. They made the delivery room feel very casual which made Bella's arrival that much more enjoyable.
(thank you epidural for making me feel good)
Unfortunately Bella decided to go poopie before coming out (meconium) and her cord was wrapped around her neck, so it created a tiny bit of stress. But she has passed all her test with flying colors and is doing great. Nursing is going well (three cheers for not needing to lug a pump everywhere we go) and although she's not really on a schedule yet, she's allowing us some sleep during the night, which is much needed.
Beau is very indifferent toward Bella. I'm not sure he realizes she's here, but he is getting pretty good at saying Baby and Bella. Hopefully as she grows he'll take more interest in her and they'll become great friends.

I love the family picture! Beau looks so cute!!
Any time you see a woman in a hospital delivery room bed with a smile on her face, it's a dead give away she had an epidural. WE LOVE EPIDURALS!
