Yay!! She was 5 days past her due date and she surpassed all the doctors' expectations regarding her health!! We're ecstatic!!
She was born Tuesday, 4/4/06, morning at 9:29 am after only 14 hours of labor (big improvement over the 28 hours with my first daughter). I planned a natural birth but at 6 cm, I had to get the epidural-I had reached my threashold of pain tolerance. I hoping to say the contractions were just pressure and I could handle them, but it was true pain for me. Jolan weighed 8 lbs. 13 oz and was 20.5 inches long. She has super chubby cheeks, lots of dark brown hair, and super long fingers and toes.
We're in Heaven right now. We had an extremely stressful pregnancy that ended in a quick labor, only 20 minutes of pushing, and most importantly--a healthy baby. We are in an odd, unblievable state of mind-mostly filled with gratitude, awe and tons of love. I'll post pics in the picture posting thread.
