Introducing....

Our baby girl!

Born at home 8/20/08
8 lbs. 7 oz., 21 in. long, and might I add 14 1/2 inch head circumference.

We are so thankful to the Lord for giving us this gift. She is healthy, beautiful, and nursing like a champ.

36 hours of labor total, with hard contractions from the beginning that came consistently 5 minutes apart. It was the hardest work I've ever done but well worth it in the end.

You sound so stable! Big, big congrats. Tell us the tale sometime if you're so inclined.

YAY! Congratulations!

I'm still telling myself that labor is really natural and that all this "pain" stuff is the brainwashing of our mothers and grandmothers. Is it true? ;)

Hooray!!! Nice work!! I'll second Rebekah: we'd love more details if you feel like sharing sometime.

Cheryl said...

Congratulations! So glad to hear the happy news.

Thanks ladies! I will definitely tell the tale, but I've got another one to tell first. It's been wild around here lately...
