Our baby finally came!

post #1 of 18
Thread Starter 
10 days to 13 days overdue depending on whether you go by the dr's or midwife's estimate. Her name is Magdalena - middle name to be determined. Born at home last night after almost 18 hours of labor for a second baby. NOT FUN. It was a very difficult birth but I finally got thru it without having to go into the hospital. She was 10 lbs 5 oz and 23 in long. She is gorgeous and nursing like a champ. Good luck to everyone still waiting.

Holy cow! That's actually what I said out loud to myself sitting here reading about her. What a beautiful name. Congratulations! I'm so glad that she's finally here!

What a lovely name! Good job mama! You made it. Its always worth it in the end when we get to see our beautiful LOs. During labor with Vincent, I kept saying "this is ridiculous!" Its really quite insane what we have to endure to get our babies here, but so worth it.

Welcome Magdelena! :
XOXO

I was upset when I was in labor because everyone always says "the 2nd goes faster". My friend just had a baby and the labor was 4 hrs total so when I took 16 (first dd was 18) I got frustrated! lol

BIG baby! yay!!!
