I'm officially unlurking...I finally feel like maybe I belong, if you let me

Hi all -

I've been reading your posts for months, so I feel like I know some of you, even though I haven't posted here. I guess I just felt funny...can I say hi now?
I was due July 22, but went into labor on June 18 and had my baby girl on June 19. Amazingly, she's doing well (went home from the hospital with me) and has already gained back her birthweight +10 oz.
I haven't caught up on what all of you July mommas have been doing for the last two weeks because I was totally in Bonnie-world, but I hope things are going well. Congratulations to everyone who had her baby!

Thanks,
cheryl

Thank you for the welcomes! I appreciate it. Bonnie is doing *great* The hospital prepared me for a 5 lb-er that would need to stay in the NICU for weeks -- and she was only there for 2 days. She's home with me now, and perhaps I'll post her birth story in the birth story sticky. I think it would feel good to tell it to people, because it was all so very very different from what I planned.
Thank you Momma2Addison for saying you like her name! We named her after a favorite aunt of mine who passed away a couple of years ago.
Thanks again!
cheryl
