A BFed babes tummy isnt big enough to hold 1/2 a cup until they're a few months old. It sure seems like that much when its all over, but it really isn't.

I have a water sling that I used almost exclusively for the shower with DS.  I used in a pool maybe twice, but for a shower when it was the only way to get one, it was great.  The one I have is made of Solarveil, which is a...

Ezri Almara was born just last night, 5/26 at 11:59 pm.  8 lbs, 3 oz, almost 22 inches long. 

Ezri Almara was born (vaginally) at 11:59 pm saturday night (just barely!). We're doing just fine and should be headed home in a few hours. I'll update more when I've gotten some sleep.
