Hi guys.
Wow. That was by far the most intense and amazing experience of my life. I'm still in a bit of shock as you might imagine - I can't believe it was just yesterday I was wondering about this odd little mucus plug and whether I should just go about my day as planned . . . Little did I know someone else was very much in charge by then.
So from start to finish, just about 13 hours altogether, including THREE HOURS of pushing. It was excruciating at times, but I am so glad that I could take my time and ease into it without people screaming in my face and counting and such. She has quite the fuzzy blonde conehead, but I did it without any real tearing, just a tiny 'skidmark' that doesn't even warrant a stitch.
I am so sad that Mast didn't make it by about 1/2 an hour, but he was there just after I got out of the pool (which arrived, I kid you not, YESTERDAY, about 10 minutes before the 1st midwife did) and got to cut th cord. I am just so thankful that he is here now.
And she? Is just a dream. Can't even put it into words.
I'll have more of a birth story later - right now I need to take everyone's advice and try to sleep when the baby sleeps, but I just had to pop in and thank everyone SO MUCH for all the kind words, PMs etc. It really means the world. Thank you.

Talk about perfect timing with the pool! lol
Just reflecting on that feeling of having a brand new person to hold and love...it's really the best feeling ever. I am so happy for you and Mast you have no idea.
Thanks for updating and good luck with the feedings, mama!

Am I alone in the fact that talking about, listening about, or learning about babies makes me want a roll in the sack with Boyfriend?
Nope.

Congrats guys! Mast, you'd better invest in a good shotgun to scare off the boys that will undoubtedly be flocking to her in about 15 years!

When are we going to get the stats? Length weight, time born, etc, etc, etc?

Will do!
Heh.. She finally found them, eh? It's fun!
The question is, where's she keepin em?
Honestly she's been great. She doesn't cry for long with daddy (I think) :). She's so neat to just sit and look at, and when she does wail, it really doesn't bother me and I think that's because I know it's her only means of communication.
What's really adorable is that she'll be sleepin there all peaceful like and then, as if dreaming she got hit by a bus, all her limbs go wild. THEN relax back to all peaceful like. Quickly my mind drifts to 10-20 years ahead.
She's just outright gorgeous. She make's the cutest faces, and has the best, hardest working, baby-come-first and tolerant mommy ever. The little girl will have the best raising mommies can give.

Like they say: When you have a boy, you have one pecker to worry about, when you have a girl, you have ALL the peckers to worry about.
I wonder if she'll be a stripper.

The princess Lily was born on 4/14/08 at 11:01 pm, exactly 40 minutes BEFORE I got there :( she's 7 lbs even and 21 inches long. She enjoys long walks on the beach, colostrum, and the strong silent type boys, slightly older, who like to ride in their stroller and say "Sup" with their faces all the time. Cute and caring sister optional. Know any of these boys Venus?

Yay for stats! I know a ton of people have been asking for them, both here and in PMs. Hunter was 7 pounds even too.. Cute!
Oh.. And watch and listen to her sleep. Cherish those moments and those little teeny noises they make while they're dreaming. Hunter still does it occasionally--but that is one of the things I miss most about when all my kids were teeny-tiny. I just sat there and watched them. There is nothing more beautiful in the world to me.

Better yet..record it!! Today I recorded my 3 week old sleeping and making those little noises and faces. Ohhhh*tear fest* and take a few good pictures of her while she still has her cord stump. They don't stay newborns very long. *tears more*
YAYYYYYYYYYy Congratulations!!!!!!!

Damn.. I'm kicking myself because I should've thought of recording it! When Delia was a newborn and I'd watch her, the Husband said I was going to give her a complex that surface later in life because I would just stare at her for so long.. lol
So record it, Mast & Rose! Especially those little baby cries, when they get all excited and can't catch their breath. It's heartbreaking, but cute all at the same damn time.
Man I'm glad I'm fixed.
