Our sweet baby girl arrived last Friday at midnight exactly. I was originally due April 1st, but was scheduled for a c-section on March 24th because I've had heart problems in this pregnancy and they didn't think I'd tolerate labor.
My water broke at 2PM on Thursday. I drove myself to the hospital, and was dilated to a 4, so they thought they'd see how I did with a traditional labor. I had a terrible epidural experience and we had some trouble when the baby fell on the cord and depressed her heart rate, but there were no other problems.
She's tiny, since she lost weight after birth and now weighs 6 lbs 5 oz. Other than that, she's completely healthy and my recovery is going great (much better than a c-section recover would have been!). I wish all of you ladies tons of luck and hope that your deliveries are as smooth and happy as ours was. Thanks so much for the support/inspiration over the last 8 months!

I agree with all of this... She's beautiful! And I was 6 lbs. 8 oz. full term, so her size seems fine to me!
Mac and cheese lover!
Someone's getting a little brother!
This actually makes me feel better! She was 6 lbs 13 oz at birth and our doctor is concerned because she's lost so much weight (almost 10%) so we're feeding her every two hours and supplementing with formula. I'm nervous that she won't gain weight, but it's nice to hear that she's not really that tiny. Hopefully she fattens up a little before our doctor's appt next week!
