Nora Lillian is here- updated with LONG story post 36!

post #1 of 42
Thread Starter 
After 14ish hours of early labour and one very intense hour of active labour, our baby girl Nora Lillian was born at home today, April 7th at 3:01 pm.

She's 7 1/2 lbs (need to check on this exactly- I can't remember if it's 7lb 5 oz or 7.5 lbs) and healthy and nursing well. I'm doing well, too- the long early labour was tiring and frustrating for me, but the active labour was amazing and intense. She was born in the bathroom after only 6 minutes of pushing with her big sister watching.

Photos and more details later... we're both doing terrifically, though tired :
