Magdalena Jule was born via c/s today at 8:03 am. She weighed in at 8 lbs. 2oz, and is 20 inches long. The staff here have been wonderful in supporting us to be attached and this little girlie is nursing like a pro! I'm feeling pretty good, all things considered. 
ETA: I just feel the need to clarify that I searched diligently for a practicioner willing to support me in a VBAC in a supportive setting and our options were a C/S in the hospital and a VBAC at home. There is no birth center here. It was a heartbreaking journey, really, but now I'm happy to have come through it okay and have my beautiful little girl.
