Lucy Mae
Well, Lucy was finally born on Friday, November 20th at 2:54 pm. I didn't get into the hospital to be induced until Thursady afternoon and my labor started that evening. All in all, it was about 18 hours from start to finish. It all went so well. Lucy was 7lbs 14oz and 21 1/2 in long. So small compared to Cloe!! It was such a wonderful experience and we are so happy to have our little Lucy with us. We'll keep posting pics when we can.

Cloe called it my "Dumpty Egg" belly (as in Humpty Dumpty)
My beautiful baby girl.
Another girl and still the spitting image of her Daddy!!
The new and improved Overacker Family. Cloe is still warming up to Lucy, I'm sure they'll be best friends in no time.

Overdue Again!!
Well, my body is no good at having babies.... I can get pregnant, have virtually no problems during my pregnancies, but when its time for the baby to come out, it just doesn't happen. Oh well, I suppose if I'm bad at any part of the whole baby process, this is the best part to be bad at.
I had a dr appointment this morning that went pretty well. He stripped my membranes at my last appointment, which didn't do anything (obviously) and did it again this morning. I had pretty consistent contractions all weekend (about 5 min apart for several hours) but they weren't getting more intense. At my appointment, my doctor said that Lucy has definitely dropped more (I could have told him that...) and I am more effaced and a bit more dialated. I told him that I am ready to have the baby as soon as he is willing to induce me..... so..... we scheduled my induction for Thursday!! I'm so glad!! I have been having an extremely difficult last couple of weeks, but it's so nice to have the date set so I know what to expect. I suppose it's possible to go into labor before then, but I'm not going to worry about that right now.
I'm sorry about not posting pics, I couldn't find my camera... pregnancy mushy brain I suppose. But Ben found it, so I'll make sure to get caught up before I have the baby.
Thanks for all of your love and prayers. We will keep you posted!
