Our New Year's Eve baby!

Thanks for all the well wishes!! Claire Elizabeth arrived on the 31st at 2:16pm, 6lbs 14oz, 19.25 inches long and just perfect :)

We came home Monday and are adjusting to our new life. BFing is going pretty well, although I am cracked and sore :( already got some APNO, so I hope that and some time learning helps.

Short birth story... I went out to dinner on Friday with some girlfriends, was having some BH, but nothing else. Went to bed around 11:00 and my water broke around midnight. Shocked the sh!t out of me. Contractions started about 20 mins later. Got to the hospital around 2:00am, I just wasn't comfortable staying at home longer. They checked me and I was only 1.5cm, boo. They had to give me morphine since I was so tense during the contractions.

They moved us to a labor and delivery room around 6:00, got checked around 7:00 and I was 2cm, wasn't so happy about that.  The contractions were getting tough to get through at that point and I got the epidural somewhere around 8:30 I think. Heaven I tell you. I never really slept, but was at least able to really relax. Progressed to 7cm in the next 2 hours, yay me! Started pushing around 1:50, pushed for about 20 mins and she was here! It was a really great experience, I think I had prepared myself for the worst. I think the soreness afterward was worse than the delivery, lol!
