Did you guys notice I was gone for awhile? No? Well, it’s my fault; I haven’t been blogging consistently. Only this time, I have an excuse! I’d like you to meet Allie Cat:
Friday 11/25, our first day back at home!
Born the day before Thanksgiving, 11/23, at 4:57 p.m.
8 lbs, 2 oz (I know! not my genes)
21 inches (again, not my genes)
Birthing dream scenario goals met:
* no epidural
* no episiotomy
* no IV pain relief (or any pain relief)
* mom healthy, baby healthy
* dad stayed by mom’s head the entire time coaching, and took no photo or video of objectionable stuff. 🙂
* no drama; only dad and medical team in birthing room with me through labor. 🙂 🙂
I’m so happy everything went well. The two of you look beautiful 🙂 Congrats!!
CONGRATS!!! Let me know when you are up for visitors 🙂 I was 22 inches, but that the only thing I remember from my stats. Now I am curious and gonna ask my mom.
Congratulations!!
You’re such a brave Mama; went through the whole thing without any pain relief!!
I was checking frequently since your second last post for your good news. So I did realize you were “gone” for awhile. Hope you manage to get some good rest.
Hello Allie! *waving* 🙂
erin – thanks! I’m sure you’ll let the people at work know, right? Thanks!
Vanessa – you were 22 in? does that mean I can expect a similar adult height from her? omg, she’s gonna outgrow me by middle school.
Jade – thank you! I can’t say I had NO pain relief; my body created a lot of it. Nature is incredible. and thanks for checking frequently and noticing I wasn’t here.
Haven’t said a word to anyone at work…should I hang a flyer in the elevator? 🙂
good job mama! you are a ROCK STAR! hi allie!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
erin – please don’t!
flip flop girl – “waaah! WAAAAAAH!” – Allie
