Zoe Marie Hancock was born at 3:13pm on Friday, 2/12/2010.  She weighed in at 8lbs 4.2oz and measured 20″ long.  She is a very eager eater and has passed all tests so far.  She has a full head of hair and a lot of hair every where else.  Her cry is more like a squeak, but when she really means it, she actually sounds like a sheep!  It’s really pretty funny!

We went to the hospital on Thursday afternoon for a scheduled induction.  The induction worked, somewhat, and brought labor along from 1cm to 4cm, but could not progress further because Zoe’s head was not engaging Anna’s pelvis, so a C-section was necessary.  We didn’t have time to get any pictures of Matthew in the scrubs for the operating room, but that would have been funny!  We did get to experience labor for several hours and our doula was very supportive in helping to get Anna to 4cm.

Anna is making progress with recovery.  We’re going to try walking the halls tomorrow since she is able to walk to the bathroom now.  The good thing is that little Zoe is perfect and a pretty good baby, too!

Since we are on family vacation in Florida, we decided to do a 3d ultrasound so Anna’s family could witness Zoe first hand.  I’ll let the pictures and video speak for them selves, but we learned today that she looks like her dad (me!), she is stubborn, and likes to hold her hands by her face.  She is 28 weeks along at this point and is due February 12, 2010.

Today we found out the wookie is a wookette.  Here are the pictures.

I have lots of pictures from MACNA I will post, along with videos.

Edit 2009-10-05: Someone at work was having trouble seeing the face in the 3d image, so I outlined what I see.  As you can see, I think the baby will have a claw.

Anna visited the doctor today and made a little recording…
