Born in the hospital but just barely - she was almost a highway baby!
Recovering great, back in my first pre-pregnancy shorts at 11 days! Baby girl is amazing, big sister loves "her" baby but is otherwise deep in the terrible twos. Grateful for all the family help, loving our new little family of 4.

~APGoddess83~ (Sky) Due July 19th
Gave Birth to Griffin Piers Robert Y.
At 39.6 weeks
7lbs 10oz, 20 inches long
About 9 hours of easy labor that wasn't progressing much (stuck at 6 cm with ctx 7 minutes apart even with tons of walking) so we agreed on the tiniest dose of pitocin (evil) and an hour later he was born (cord around neck and arm but he was fine) after some intense pit ctx and my water breaking and about 5 minutes of pushing. Was hoping for a quick labor like my last two but was happy to get all the abx since I was GBS+. We came home 24 hours later!

Membrane sweep Friday, contractions started 4 a.m. Sunday, 5 minutes apart by 6 a.m., got to the hospital at 6-7 centimeters, AROM at 9 cm, complete by 11:40. Pushed in every position imaginable for somewhere around 4 hours, all unmedicated, more intense than painful, weirdly blurry. Baby decided to present mostly ROP but ear-first, got stuck, arrived via emergent C-section.
