Allison Elizabeth Bowman's Arrival

I was induced on July 3, 2008 at 2:00 in the morning. We were told things would not start for probably 2-3 hours. In about 15 minutes the contractions started and they started full-force!! I was having contraction 2-3 mins apart. At about 9, Allison made it known that she was not happy - her heart rate became a little irregular - so they monitored us closely. The doctor then decided it was in our best interest to do a c-section. I was not progressing (0 cm) and Allison was only getting more distressed. At 11:00 am on July 3, 2008 - Allison Elizabeth Bowman graced us with her presence - weighing in at 9lbs. 1oz. and measuring 19.5".
