Julia was born on November 4th at 4.41pm, 8 pounds 8ounces for 19.685 inches.
On the Friday, I had contractions early in the morning but they stopped and so Keld went to work. The next day, the same thing was happening. I had contractions but I thought they would stop like the day before, so Keld went to work. He was exceptionally working on Saturday because of the elections. Grandpa and Special brought me and my mom to the hospital around 9. When Aunt Tina tracked down Keld (he had to surprise a polling station for an audit so he coudn't say exactly where he was going and of course, he had no cell phone), he came and joined us. He had plenty of time, Julia wasn't coming fast.
In fact, she was going too slow. I was losing too much blood and so the gynecologist tried to speed things up by using the vacuum and the forceps.
We thought Keld would faint but he was fine and even cut the cord!
Finally a girl in the family ;)
Did you see that? She was already sticking her tongue out for pictures...
