My wife gave birth via VBAC to our second daughter yesterday! The little one came in at 11:36 a.m., weighing 8 pounds, 11.6 ounces, and measuring 21 inches in length. She was due on Memorial Day, so she was in for 40 weeks and 6 days!

Sheesh. We’ve had the internets for like, decades, now. You’d think people would know by now that you can’t post about cats, babies, or boobies and not include pictures.

But congrats to you and yours, and huge props to your wife on the VBAC! Awesome!

Congrats to you and your newly expanded family!

But the thread title is jarring, since Laxette is a common laxative name. And #2, well…

So glad to hear she finally arrived. Your wife must be very happy not to be ten months pregnant anymore!

😃

Congratulations.
