I'll add some pictures here later..
I went in to my OB thursday and my blood pressure was 160/100, so she decided to send me in and get induced. Let me tell you, labour with magnesium sulphate sucks!!! I had so many IV's, I looked like a freak. And I wanted to do this naturally... Well, didn't happen that way!! Had the Pitocin, broke my water and contractions started coming in so strong it was insane!! At that point, I got the epidural, it was too much for me to handle.

After 12 hours of labor and a 3rd degree tear, my little (nameless) girl was born, 8lbs 4 ounces and a full head of dark hair!!!

I miss my son like crazy (he's still in the hospital for his broken leg), but things are doing ok. The baby is nursing non stop (or so it seems) but I still need to work on her latch. Oooops, she' s crying now!!

I thought for a moment there I was gonna have a friday the 13th baby. Eight contractions in about an hour, but then they just went away. Ah, well.

Congratulations on your little girl!!!
