We have a baby girl!

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
Sylvan Belle arrived at 4:02 AM, June 22.
She is 6 lbs 14 oz, and 20 in long, so just a little thing despite waiting until 9 days after her due date to make an appearance.

Due to early rupture of membranes, meconium staining, and GBS + status, our planned homebirth became a hospital induction. I'll post my birth story in a couple days once I've had a few days to process it.

Sylvan is bright eyed and spent most of her first 24 hours awake and looking around. She's not so interested in nursing yet, but we'll get that worked out over the next little while. We are so happy to have her!:

Oh she is a little peanut for a post-dater! Congratulations!!

Someone was just saying to me that some post-date babies develop a real fondness for sucking on their tongue and that can make breastfeeding challenging at first. Just throwing that out there since the conversation is fresh in my mind!

Happy to hear she is here!

My first two were very sleepy babies who were a challenge to wake and nurse for a week or so. Hang in there, and she will be nursing like a champion soon.

She's got an absolutely beautiful name. Glad she's here and looking forward to your story - when you're ready to share.

Congratulations Carlin! I'm so sorry that you didn't get the birth that you had planned, but I'm glad that you and Sylvan are healthy. Beautiful name by the way!
