Goldie Leigh Goodman

She’s here!!!

Everything went so smoothly…an easy delivery.  We’re so happy she’s here and healthy! We decided to schedule an induction this time so we could be sure to have coverage for the boys and ensure that Dr. Sibul could be there for delivery (he didn’t deliver either of the boys).

We got to the hospital at 4:30AM and I was hooked up to pitocin to get contractions moving by 5:30AM (after a few failed attempts to get an IV in).  I got an epidural and they broke my water bag around 9:30AM.

The Silverman sisters arrived and we got our obligatory photo in (with Dr. Sibul)!

By 1:30PM, after just a push or two, Goldie Leigh arrived!  She took a little longer than Dr. Sibul anticipated but she arrived happy and didn’t even shed a tear until the nurses made her cry!  I was so happy to hear her apgar score of 9 (a first for a Goodman baby).

Grandma and Grandpa landed in Chicago that afternoon and headed straight to the hospital.  They waited to find out her name and see her until they arrived.

Greg headed home to take care of the boys and I enjoyed some alone time with Goldie before a few more visitors stopped by!

I sent Goldie to the nursery for the night around midnight but changed my mind and asked the nurses to bring her back around 3AM – I missed her!
