Won't be discharged from the hospital until Friday at noon. That's waaay too late to get the good bargains at Best Buy! On a side note, here is why an epi and Stadol is every woman's BFF....
and if the Stalkerazzi is hounding you with pictures, just make identical Tyra Fierce poses...
and if you find your eyes filled with Vitamin K and no chance to fix up your hair before picture time, just distract them with some little titty action....
I think we might have some cuter pics on the camera but the sync cord is waaaaay across the room. Short version: Woke up from pain at 5am and didn't realize it was pre-labor. Tried to stick it out at home as long as possible or until myy 11am weekly OB appointment. Made it to 10am before pain started to get more intense. Expected to hear 1-2cm and was FLOORED to hear 5cm. Went to the hospital [where we met Mom who had just driven six hours that morning to be there]. Got some Stadol (sp?) and an epi and then slept for a few hours and woke up to 9.5cm. HEAVENLY! Pushed for three hours in various positions but her head was not facing the right way and they couldn't get it turned. Was offered forceps or c/s. I was COMPLETELY unable to make any decisions at that point as I was kinda rather hoping for a quick death instead to end the pain. DH decided forceps. I thought I wanted to die before.....oh my effing GAWD! 25 minutes of the worst pain ever known to humankind!! I asked them to just yank the effer out at one point! They kept telling me I was close and that I could do it. I yelled louder than all three of them combined that in fact I was NOT capable of getting it done! Apparently they won that battle and RBGK arrived at 8:41pm. She was 8lb4oz and 21 inches. She's pretty darn cute although I have NO idea where the blonde came from. I have already questioned whether she is actually my child. ;-) OK, so now that I look back, maybe that was the middle length version of it all. Anyway, she's here. I'm pooped. I can believe I own one of these things now! ;-) I envision many more adventures to come! Oh and more pics.

I'm new around here, I think I'll post an introduction giving the details of my fairly humorous last month or so, and not to familiar with this posting, etc... stuff still trying to decipher some of the lingo.
I agree your pics are gorgeous! Both of you. And love your humorous "journaling". Especially love the one with the Tyra pose. LOL.
I've taken care of newborns & new moms for awhile now and between that and co-workers new baby/hospital pics I don't think I've ever seen such great post-delivery (pics). And I work with a bunch of (mostly young) women who have been busy reporoducing so I've seen lots of similar pics.
Nice to "meet" you and best of luck on your new adventure. I'm sure I'll see ya around.
