What a trooper you are- I cannot even fathom 48 hours of labor. I bow to you, madame.

So glad to hear that your lo arrived safely, and she is sooo cute!

working on the birth story between feedings and people dropping in - I should have it up tonight or tomorrow. Riley is on a good schedule though and my milk came in early this morning (no engorgement, yay!) so hopefully I will have time to finish up the last little bit soon.

Went to the ped today - Riley actually is 22 inches long! I thought she looked longer... She weighed in at 8.5 today, which is what we checked out of the hospital at, so if she lost any over the weekend, she has gained it back. Engorgement hit BIG time last night, I was so glad I had a pump. Pamela Anderson really has nothing on me! I was a 32DD before getting pregnant, so you can imagine what I look like now.

Joe uploaded a ton of the baby pics to his server if anyone wants to see. I know I loved looking through new baby pics when I was still pg (actually, if I had any time, I still would!) and the link is :

Yay! Congrats on the sweet little girl.

As someone who has pretty short labors, I must say that I have the utmost respect for those of you who have such marathon labors. I really don't know how you find the strength to do it. Way to go Mama!! Impressive.
