Miriam Iris Denomey
born Wednesday, November 15, 2006
at 8:04 pm
Weighing 7 lbs. 10 oz., and 20 inches long
18 hours of labour
Caught by our two lovely midwives at our local hospital.
I got stuck at 4-5 cm for a few hours, and requested an epidural at 6:30pm. At 7pm I was fully dilated, pushed for an hour (what a FABULOUS feeling!) and our sweet Miriam was born. Had a 2nd degree tear, but it's not too uncomfortable. We came home just before midnight (about 4 hours after birth), and it's been an amazing ride ever since.
She smells like a honey sugar-cube, has a few wisps of hair the colour of her daddy's, dark blue eyes, and loves to be swaddled. She makes sweet noises, likes to sleep while nursing, and enjoys petting her own head. We are absolutely overjoyed!
Will post full birth story eventually. Miriam is sleeping in a wrap right now and making cooing sounds.
