One week ago, our baby girl finally made her arrival!!
Fiona Elise was born at 2:17 p.m. on September 9 after 35 hours of labor. She was 7 lbs 6 oz and 21.5".
I don't know when I'll feel more pulled together to post regularly; right now it's just about making it through each day (and harder still, each night!). We're trying really hard to BF, which is proving a lot more difficult than I ever expected. But Fiona is eating well when she gets on and my milk came in just fine. So hopefully it's just a matter of time before she actually stays awake to eat and latching isn't such a struggle.
I miss you ladies!! I hope everyone is doing well and I can catch up soon.
