Birth Day!

Introducing Caroline (Callie) Taylor Stanley born 4/22/08 (Earth Day) at 8:44am. We checked into University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics at 5pm on 4/21/08 for induction (eight days past my due date). They gave me a prostaglandin at 5:30pm and I was having contractions by 6pm. I received an epidural (from my next door neighbor) at 1:30am and waited for my doctor (Dr. Jennifer Niebyl) to arrive and started pushing at 8am. It was an amazing experience and the staff was wonderful. We had lots of visitors in the hospital and even more when we got home.
