Vicky is no longer pregnant. After two total hours of labor which included only half an hour at the hospital, (meaning no epidural), and one big push, baby Lucy arrived at 7:10 am... ALL 9 lbs 15 ounces and 22 inches of her, (and already too big for newborn diapers.) Vicky walked into the hospital dilated to a 10. She was incredible, and I am so proud of her.
Unlike her older brothers, who were two and three weeks early, Lucy decided to hold off until nearly the end, with only four days left until the due date. Thus changing our St. Patrick's Day celebrations forever. Lucy has been such a real joy already. So here's to hoping she will be as calm and quite all of her childhood, and life for that matter, as she has been today... I'm serious. Both boys soaked her right up.
Here are a few more photos to enjoy. I'm sure Vicky will post more at a later date.

I am so happy for you guys! From the stats, it sounds like a perfect labor! I hope it really was, and that recovery is going well too.

OH my Lucy is darling, what a sweetie already she has a personality, o.k. wonderwoman you were at YW's 12 hours before birth and Costco 36 hours after, you be careful. I guess birthing can NEVER be to fast or easy, just be careful cause we always fall on our faces when we get going too fast.

Congratulations!!! She is so freaking adorable! And Vicky, you look incredible! Absolutely no fair. Especially pushing out a big baby sans-epidural. You are super woman!!
CONGRATULATIONS. Way to go on your smooth delivery. Shay and I scheduled our babies c-section for The day after saint patties. It made it so I wouldn't have to take more vacation days. (And we always need another excuse for parties. Saint patties is celebrated one day, and his birthday will be the next. More reasons to parties on various days of the year was our though. Congrats again. She is so cute. She puts our little 7 pounder to shame. Hope mom adjusts to the new one, befor you have to pack up and get moving to you next home.
Hooray!! We're so glad to see what a duersch baby GIRL looks like! She's just as darling as the boys! Hope everyone is recovering well! Love you, friends!!!!
YAY for the Duersch family! She looks like a Duersch already...SUPER cute! Awesome story, and one more reason to celebrate on St. Patrick's Day! Way to go!
