AW: M.irabelle Iris has arrived!

Contractions started in earnest around 3 or 4 this morning, about 10-12 mins apart. By 8, I woke up DH because B was awake and contractions were ~6 mins apart. Around 9 I called the doctor & texted our doula. We got checked in around 10 and I was at 7-8cm (despite my planning to go in earlier to be hooked up to antibiotics for an appropriate amount of time). At 1:30 I started pushing and she was born 2 minutes later. 7lbs, 1oz, 20"
Just to be contrary, she has tons of extremely dark hair.
They'll probably keep her for 2 days because I wasn't hooked up to the antibiotics for long enough to monitor her for group B strep complications. Our blood types are also different and mixed at some point, so she's at higher risk for jaundice.
Edit: she is 20". Benjamin was 21"

Congratulations again lady!!

May I also add that I'm totally jealous of your short labor! I can only hope I go as quick as you when it's my turn.
Thank you for sharing your new squish with us!

(And I'm so insanely jealous of that 2 minutes, but happy that it was so quick for you!)
I sent DH home last night to hang with B and sleep in our comfy bed. Apparently B's grandpa fed him way too many saltines ("because he kept asking for more") at lunch and then he had miso soup for dinner so DH had to deal with a barfy toddler at bedtime.
