Tracy gave birth on Monday February 4 at 6:34 p.m. to Elyse Brandt Knoebel. Labor got started with an epidural before they would break the rest of her water. But when labor didn't start, they gave Pitocin and after an hour she was ready to push. We were waiting for the epidural guy to come back since it was only working on one side but the mid-wife said, "Let's just have a baby." Oh sure, easy for you to say! Luckily, Tracy only pushed for 4 minutes before it was all over. Elyse looks a lot like Brynn but with flatter ears, a smaller chin dimple, two straight feet, and a slightly bigger lower lip. She does a lot of sleeping and eating and pooping. Brynn has been a pain in the butt since she is still getting over her sickness (she barfed last weekend). Here she is:
