Lilly Grace Sanchez

We are so very excited to announce that Lilly Grace arrived Wednesday morning at 8:31 AM weighing in at 6 lbs. 15 oz, and 19 3/4 in. long.

Our labor and delivery was extremely fast! From the first contraction until her delivery was only 4 hours. We didn't expect everything to go so quickly and were trying to get the boys ready for school and dropped off before we went to the hospital. By the time we dropped the boys off at 7:30, we realized that we had waited a little too long to go to the hospital and barely made it... We got to the hospital at 8:19 AM and had Lilly 12 minutes later! There were about 10 nurses in the room trying to get me admitted and everything set up all at the same time. Luckily there was an OB on staff who had been there all night who was able to deliver the baby since there wasn't time for my doctor or any of the doctors from her practice to get up to the hospital! Dr. Kohlmorgan barely had time to get her gloves on before Lilly was born! I hadn't planned on delivering Lilly completely naturally with no drugs, but she had different plans! It all happened so fast that not only did I not have an epidural, but I didn't have time for an IV or anything else either. Manuel and I were both completely in shock at how fast everything happened, but it all worked out great and she is here and perfect!
