Thank Guen for letting everyone know. I have been terrible about keeping up here!
I appreciate all the well wishes from all of you, it's good to see so many familiar names! Thank you for thinking of me... Last Thursday November 7th at 7:24 pm I delivered a beautiful baby girl, Shannon Elizabeth. She was 6 lbs 12 oz and 19 inches long. I had to have a c section because she was breech, but I knew that going in. Her head was planted firmly under my right rib cage for several weeks and she had no intention of moving. We considered doing a version to turn her because I really wanted to deliver her vaginally but we decided against it due to low amniotic fluid and the fear that I would really not be able to tolerate the kneading on my stomach. Anyhow, my maternity leave plan was to work through 11/6 and our office was closed the next 2 days so I would start leave on 11/11 and hopefully have at least through the weekend before she arrived since she was due 11/13. I finished up on Wednesday, and Thursday morning I went into labor. We headed to the hospital and waited for most of the day because the OR was booked and there were some emergencies but we got in at a little before 7 and at 7:24 she was here! We were team green so it was an exciting surprise until the end. She is so precious and we are just delighted with her. After all we went through trying to get pregnant for the last 3 1/2 years it sometimes doesn't seem real to me. Sometimes I start to cry just looking at her. Of course it doesn't take much to make me cry these days . Here are pictures of our precious Shannon Elizabeth.
Oh my gosh, she's beautiful Irishgirl! I'm so happy for you.
