Auden's arrival

Auden Colleen Hummel joined the family on November 28, 2008 at 12:12 PM. She weighed in at 8lbs 12oz, almost a full pound heavier than Caleb, and was 22 inches long. We thought she would arrive on Thanksgiving day but my doctor must have had very important Thanksgiving plans and decided to send me home 5 cm dilated and contracting every 5-7 minutes. I promised that I would deliver fast if he would just break my water, but he wasn't going along with my plan. So we made our way back to the hospital later that night. They finally did keep me and after the doctor did make his way to the hospital and break my water I was ready to have her within half an hour. However, my doctor once again had to be at home so we had to wait 45 minutes until he was able to get back tot he hospital and deliver her. Two pushes and she was out. We were quite surprised when she was born, not by the gender this time but by the color of her hair. I guess we had just assumed our kids would all be little red heads like Caleb. She is a wonderful easy going baby and is already sleeping 5-7 hours straight at night!
