Since the general public is typically a great place to judge the current barometer of whats cool- I have decided to do a daily ish blog of the Chase family and our escapades.
Traci called me a little after midnight while I was at work Monday night. I drove home at about 80 mph, picked her up, and drove to the hospital about 60 mph. The nurses were not as excited as we were. They checked us in to a room, and basically said we will not be having the baby until business hours. We checked out Maverick on VHS from the counter, and watched/fell asleep.
Traci’s contractions were getting harder, and the doctor placed a perfect epidural. (sp?) We then waited until around 9am, and Traci started pushing. About 2 hours later, Baby Etta was born. She had a conehead.
Thank you so much to all of our visitors whilst we were in the hospital.
We are now home to our new home, in the South Sugarhouse/Millcreek area. Etta had some high levels of Bilirubin (jaundice) and had to be on a bilibed the first two days she was home. It was hard for both of us, especially Traci. But at the end of the day, it was better than having to have her stay at the hospital.
I am excited to get this going- so I will sign off for now and hopefully add more later tonight.
