Yay! I can finally post that my baby girl is here! And boy, is she just absolutely beautiful! I swear, I have never seen anything so angelic and perfect in my life! I am so in love! 
Katherine was born on Oct 05 2005, at 11:14 pm at the hospital. She was weighed in at 9 lb 1 oz!!! Man, that was the most surreal experience I have ever had! The most painful by far, but also the most invigorating. I'll post a more detailed birth story when I've had some sleep, but basically, I went up to 8.5 cm without medication, then gave in for the epidural through transition. I wasn't able to push as well when I became fully dialated, so the epidural was stopped, and I was able to feel EVERYTHING (the ring of fire, and it burns burns burns.....). I am really proud of that fact, that the epidural as used for such a short time and that I was fully aware of everything. I only pissed the puking during transition, which I am quite happy about. :LOL As soon as she was out, the pain was over, and absolute adoration took over!
She is beautiful, healthy, and both her mommy and daddy are completely enamoured with her. 
So yay, I can finally join the club!
