quickie post, I'm starting to feel sleepy finally lol

Liberty, who still lacks a middle name but is searching for one that is moon related (we really like Kiana but DH is undecided still) , was born AT HOME tonight at 9:18pm!! :::

Shes 9lbs 2oz, 21inches, 13.5 head, no tears for mama (well, a very minor hard to find one that needed no stitches, she said none first and the ast found that one, so very minimal), she has an AWESOME latch and is a milkie monster already, tons of rooting, tons of nursing

She was born in the family bed, I labored in the tub and hour or two but started feeling too hot/faint while pushing so we moved to the toilet and then to the bed. MW called it 6hrs active labor, 1hr pushing.
Everyone is so estatic, I am sooooo in love And I feel like superwoman that despite all the odds and being in the hospital YESTERDAY, I had a baby girl in my own bed, at home!!!

Ok I need to get my butt back in bed! Love to you all!!

oh, BTW, I was 40+6 today

Her official name (well, I guess not official since we havent done BC paperwork, but still the final decision!) is Liberty Kiana McGowen

Kiana is a Hawaiian version of Diana, Neomia, great minds think alike

I'll post pictures as soon as I get them, if you can believe that! We lost our camera the day before I had her! My MW's apprentice let us take some with her camera right after the birth, so she'll email those, and I got a throw away camera so I took some pics with that today and will develop those tomorrow and scan some in. I really hope the pics from the MWs camera came out ok otherwise I will have NO pictures from my amazing birth!!!

She is so so so adorable you guys!!

And thank you everyone for all of your support and kind wishes, I was wearing my birth beads and thinking not only of the strength in those but also of all the mamas on here who had listened to me cry and be scared and be happy and all the other emotions this pregnancy has brought me, and I really just felt, and feel, so loved and supported
