I feel like I shouldn't even be allowed to complain though, I am just so blessed & happy & madly in love with everyone & everything.

Name: Elisabeth Nicole<br>
EDD: Nov 19<br>
Birthday: Nov 23<br>
Sex, H/W: F, 7 lb 2 oz, 20.5"<br>
Length of labor: 2 days prodromal: 2 hrs active ( I woke up at 2:45 am, she was born at 4:55 am - we arrived @ birth center about 10 minutes before she was born!)<br>
How are you doing: Great! She nursed immediately after birth - but I had to have emergency D&C after for retained placenta - I have a history of hemorrhaging afterward, which is why we went to a birth center. We are both doing well now, and she nurses very well.<br><br>
Congrats to everyone!
