Well, the baby was born one month ago and now I find the time to post here about her arrival. Baby Mary is here. She was born on February 14, 2010 at 12:02pm. She weighed 7 lbs 8 ozs and was 19 inches long. The labor was manageable and never got very intense. In fact, I remember vividly cleaning Joshua's Valentine candies off of his face and hands at nine centimeters. The birth; however, was a different story. Fortunately, the keen observations of the midwives saved Mary's life and maybe my own. One emergency c-section and a lot of pain meds later we were both nestled in our hospital beds (she in NICU and me too far from her) ready to start our new adventure together.
Unfortunately, I am on a different computer which does not have her picture on it but I will TRY to post it later.
Love and hugs,
Celi
