Here are some of the details. Hope it's not too boring! We got to the hospital about 7:30 in the morning. The nurses were a little busy with the couple next door. It turns out their names were Adam and Melissa also. I got hooked to the IV and they started the pitocin. I was dilated to a 2. The doctor came and popped my water bag at 9:05 am. I invited Marci to be with us at the hospital. She got there at 11:30, just in time to watch me get the epidural. (Hope that wasn't too scary Marci. They are great!) The anesthesiologist reminded us of Bishop Clark. He was funny and super great . He was very comforting! Anyway, about 1:55 I told Adam to get the nurse because it was time. He asked "Are you sure?" But he did and they got the mid wife, Heather. A few pushes and she was here. I kinda pulled her onto my stomach and opened her legs to announce she was a girl. It was quite a moment.

Baby Tori
We've had the name Victoria Sophia Basua picked out for a while.We will call her Tori! Victoria is Adam's Grandma's name. Sophia is Adam's great-grandma's name. These were both wonderful, special women for Tori to look up to as she gets older.
They checked her and cleaned up and then ran off to deliver the other couple's baby. They left Tori with us. Usually they take her and clean her up. It was great to just get to hold her and bond with her.
When I called to tell the kids it was a girl they all said a disappointed "Awwwww!" Ammon said, "But I wanted a boy." But when my Mom brought them all to visit there was no complaints. They all love her, just like we knew they would.

She is a great baby. She doesn't cry much and is sleeping as well as a newborn does. She fits with our family perfectly!
