Zoe is here!!

After 41 weeks, Zoe Elizabeth Langley finally made her world debut! Just like a girl to be fashionably late! We were scheduled to go to the hospital Wednesday morning to be induced, but we got a phone call that morning saying the hospital didn't have enough room for us. I was really upset because I was so uncomfortable and anxious to have the baby. I actually think I was in labor already and I don't think I would have lasted much longer. Thankfully, the hospital called later that morning and we were able to go in at 12:30. After getting all hooked up and dealing with all of the paperwork, my doctor broke my water at 2 PM. Zoe was born at 5:15 PM. She was 9 lbs. 6 oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. She was BIG! It all went very smoothly, though. I was able to get the pain relief I wanted, and after two big contractions and pushes, she was out, just like that. Here are some of the early pictures to enjoy...
