pregnancy

Broke my water and was on oxytocin at about 8. She was born at 2:46. So about 7hrs. Once I reached 6cm and the contractions were 1-2 min apart you can bet I begged for the epidural and I never regretted it! I was 10cm at approx 1:30 and started pushing at 2:00. She was out in about 6 contractions.

Well done April R and family! She is a sparkling beauty and you look better than any other woman I have ever seen in such shots! Well done indeed!

Adore the name! Congratulations to your entire family on your great good fortune! I am overjoyed for you all and delighted to learn she has finally, and safely, arrived!

L’il sweetie! Looks like you’re at home – how are you feeling?

I feel great, even if various parts of me are sore:eek:
she really is a great baby. we only stayed until 5pm the next day. We were so ready to get out of the hospital.

Aaawwwww! The cutest baby burrito ever.

LOL. Quite tasty :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh, Lordy, do those bring back memories. And a tear or three.

She’s gonna be a heartbreaker someday. That is, even more than she is now.
