De.lia Ro.se was born today at 12:46p. 8lb 7oz, 21.25in, Apgar scores 9.
Big brother met her tonight and was very excited to meet her.
Contractions started on their own last night but irregular. I was able to sleep for about 5 hours before contractions became to disruptive to sleep. I was up around 4a and we decided to get E up and to grandparents' around 5:30a. Labored a bit longer at home until contractions became more regular. Checked in to the hospital around 8. I was 4cm 70% but things slowed down a bit so, around 9:30 they checked me and I was 5cm 90% but my ob said she was comfortable with me going home to labor a bit more if I wanted to. We were going to go when my water broke. Things started to pickup and I was able to birth this girl med free. The last cm was the hardest and I was a little concerned I was going to push for a long time but I think it was about 20 minutes or so. She must have been slightly twisted because I tore awkwardly (i.e. Not at the perineal) but this time I didn't feel it as much when my ob stitched me up.
Delia nursed well after birth and is exhausted at the moment.
I can't believe how different this labor was compared to E's.
We're both doing well.
