Julie is here!

edited March 2014 in December 2011 Moms
Labor started around 5 am and it took me a while to decide if it's the real thing or not. Alex and DH made breakfast and I packed Alex's bag and then DH dropped him off at our neighbor's house. Midwives came shortly after.

I labored in bed and standing up in the bedroom first, then in the birthing tub. My hands and legs got all tingly and I got out of the tub and within three pushes standing by the bed, Julie came out. She's really calm and quiet so far and Alex already loves her so much, it's super sweet.

She's 6 lbs 10 oz and 19 3/4 inches long. I didn't tear at all, so I'm hoping for an easy recovery.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! :-)

  • Dirty lurker alert and way late to the party.....
    Congrats Hun!!! She is precious. How are you all doing now that things have probably settled down a bit?
    Thank you! :-) 

    We are all doing pretty good. Alex just adores his little sister and she sleeps one longer stretch (4-6 hours) at night, so that's a very positive thing after having had a first kid that never seemed to sleep. Nursing is going great and she has gained almost 3 lbs already. 
    The only sad thing in our lives is that we will have to put down our dog, probably this coming Friday. We found out just last Monday that he has cancer and he has gotten much worse since then. He's only about 8 years old and it came very unexpected.
