The first and most important thing is that we had our SECOND little girl. Let me introduce you to Saibra Nicole Strupp, born November 24th at 12:30 p.m. and weighed 7 lbs 1 oz and was 21 inches long. The delivery was an experience Cliff and I will never forget......
At 7 a.m. I went into MckayDee Hospital by myself for a scheduled induction. For those of you that don't know, Cliff is in Medical School on an island in the Caribbean called St. Kitts. Nyah and I came back to the states October 21st so I could have help with the baby from my family and Cliff could stay and focus on school. Also, on the island they don't believe in epidurals and I am definately not one of those women that would ever want to try and have a baby naturally. Anyway, they started me on pitocin at about 9 a.m. and my mom and Grandma got to the hospital at about 10. The hospital staff made it possible for me to hook our webcam up so that Cliff could in a way be there when our baby was born. At 12:25 p.m. they said that I was already at a 10, so no indepth details but she was born at 12:30, only a 3 1/2 hour labor. My mom held the webcam up so Cliff could see the baby born (from my perspective of course) and that's how Saibra Nicole joined our family.

She's a cutie! Congratulations and wahooo to quick deliveries. It's a shame your hubby couldn't be there but I don't blame you with the epidural. Hope you are adjusting well to having two!
From YOUR perspective!? The man's in medical school, he probably wanted to watch the real thing. :) Anyway, she's beautiful! I'm glad you're back to blogging so I can talk to you--or I could just call you. But Trevor has your phone number in his phone, and whenever I want to call you during the day, he doesn't answer his dumb phone so I can get YOUR phone number. Such is life. I'll remember when he's home one of these days...
Happy to FINALLY see some pictures! I can't wait to hear the other 2 parts of the story when you finally get ahold of Cliff's laptop again and the internet decides to work. OH the joys of island life...if only the rest of the world knew it wasn't all it's cracked up to be :)
COngrats! She's beatiful. Thank goodness for the technology that allowed Chris to be with you! and thank goodness for moms!
