My as yet unnamed baby girl arrived at home on Tuesday at 6:53 PM after 3 hrs of active labor, and 19 minutes of pushing... sunny side up! The length of labor and timing were almost exactly the same as with my son, (who was born with both hands behind his head and elbows pointing up at 6:10 PM) but it was much harder. I didn't realize it was back labor at the time... I felt it in my butt! In hindsight, I think it was my tailbone getting pushed on. Thank god for small babies! She was 6lbs, 12oz, and 20 inches long. More details later...
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who was rooting for me. It was nice to think of all you other December mamas while I was in labor
