Congratulations!!!

8lb, 3oz; 20.5 inches, on 30 January 2008 at 2:41. Although not the labor/delivery I wanted or planned, I had an amazing birth team whose support enabled a truly amazing experience. Details and pictures to come.

Why don't you direct some of your manifesting magic in their direction so that they can have the birth you think they should have?

I'm still mourning the loss of my home birth and I'm having trouble conceptualizing a "hospital bag" and a new birth plan. That said, I bought a night shirt in which I plan to labor and I've picked out the receiving blanked...

I'm totally leaking. I've never had to stuff my bra before and now wear cut up panti-liners in there every day. My partner thinks it's "neat."

I don't like it.
