Hi Everyone!

This is the condensed version--pics are posted on my profile page, if anyone is interested.

It's a good thing I left for the hospital when I did or she would have been born on I205:eek:. I was almost at 9cm when I arrived at the hospital, although I wimped out and got a speedy quasi-epidural thingie that slowed things down a bit.

Anyway, she weighed 10lbs, 1 oz (our second largest baby) and is 21 inches long. Her full name is Gwenevere Marin J______.

I had a very easy labor and delivery. My pelvic floor feels great. It's nice to breath again. I'm peeing about every 30 minutes, shedding the huge amount of water I retained. I'm hardly bleeding at all. I'm pretty sure I gained about 70 discouraging pounds, but this is normal for me and I always lose it, so I'm determined to lose it AGAIN.....I'm eating clean and should be ready to work out in about 2 weeks.

Take care, all

Awww--thanks everyone for your kind words and congratulations:D. This forum has been a wonderful support system for this whole pregnancy.

The wee one thinks day is night and night is day. I'm off to try and wake her so that she will nurse:p.

Hi Morris--Yup--she's a big one--I think she might catch him soon:), but we'll see how she grows. She might slow down.

If you want to see the pictures, just click on my user name and a little thing scrolls down. Click on "view public profile" and that should take you to my page. I have two albums with pictures on the top right hand corner of the page.
