Finally!!! After 42wks+1, and a short but very intense 3hr labor, my little girl, "Bella" arrived this morning, our 4th UC, at 2:00am! She is 5.5lbs 18 1/2inches long. Born posterior and into the waiting hands of her Daddy. She was definitely a bit overcooked, had some light mec staining when my waters broke during crowning, but her nose and mouth were perfectly clear, she's got super long finernails and dry, peely hands and feet. I birthed her placenta about 20mins later, and it was also very "well done" and rather fragile. I swallowed 2 small pieces to ward off any PPH, and feel fantastic: a small "skid mark "on each inner labia because her head came so fast, but no tears and no back labor like with my other 2 OP's. She had her first meal at 5mins old and is nursing great. She has beautiful red hair and denim blue eyes; an absolute dream! Pics and detailed birth story to come! 








Can't wait to hear her birth story, enjoy your babymoon!
