dear gals i am typing one handed with my daughter on my chest the mastercard version of her birth<br><br>
prelabor tuesday through thursday: frustrating<br>
labor friday afternoon and all friday night: tougher than imagined<br>
3 hours to get complete from 9 cms saturday am: exhausting<br>
2 hours of pushing at home followed by transport to hospital: incredibly sucky<br>
seeing daughter in nicu: heartrending<br><br>
being back home with perfect little girl the monday after: priceless<br>
gotta go feed queen rachel
