Hi, everybody! My baby was born at home POSTERIOR after only 6 1/2 hours labor on May 2! I still cannot believe he came that quickly.
It's a boy, he was 7 lbs 9 oz, 20 in., we had no complications other than him arriving face up, which really wasn't a problem, and he's a great nurser.
I hadn't worried at all about my DS's adjustment and it's what I'm having the hardest time with - he's so mad at me!
Will post more another time - we don't have internet access at home & this is my first foray to the library to check email (yikes! 10 days worth!)
Blessings on those who wait . . .
Update: I wrote my birth story - here it is!

Thanks to all of you who sent encouragement about my older DS. It still feels pretty challenging 18 days pp, but I also realize that some of this would be happening anyway, and a few days ago we realized that he's TEETHING - keep the tylenol coming!
