So after a pretty crappy 43 hour induction/labor, including lots of pitocin, a foley bulb cath, epidural that wore off and a vacuum extraction, Lilliana Claire was born on 7/5/12 at 10:03 am. She is amazing and we are loving being home with her. Breastfeeding has not gone well due to some latch issues and needing to supplement some. But I am pumping and still waiting for my milk to come in.
Here is my pretty Lily. Hugs to you all!

LOVE HER!!!
I am soooo thrilled for you, Manda. Look at her! She's beautiful. Given the road you've been down, I wouldn't have expected anything less than a challenging birth---but I'm confident you handled it with aplomb. Hopefully she will grow to be a happy, easy little girl to parent
Much love to you and your new little family. xoxo
