The Baby Post

Okay this is about to get personal. Not the TMI kind, but the this my life outside of writing kind. So if you don't like reading too much about a blogger's real life, you've been forewarned.

I finally had Baby Girl 2 on Tuesday afternoon. I was induced at around 8 in the morning and she was born at noon. I had an epidural, it was heavenly. To all those who can handle natural childbrith, no pain meds and all, good for you. I'm a whimp. It took one and a half pushes to get her out, I was shocked that it happened as fast as it did, but not really. I've been induced with three of my four. My second came on his own a week early. The labor was 2 1/2 hours, so I guess if I had gone into labor on my own this time around, I don't think I would have made it in time to the hospital.

Everything is good. We came home a day later than I would have liked because of this thing called jaundice. All of my kids have had it, my second was on a biliblanket for a month. They get it no thanks to my blood type. Now baby and I are trying to establish a sleeping pattern that's good for the BOTH of us (apparently she didn't get the memo). I'll be back in a bit with new posts, but right now it's kind of difficult, as you can imagine. Hope you guys are doing well, I miss reading all your posts. And don't forget, "I'll be back" (said in my best Arnold voice).
