She's Here! (Pic warning)

[cetcar]

After two days of labor at home, and a half day more at the hospital, our little Madeline Louise 'Maddy' or 'Maddylou' was born in the afternoon of the 21st (CAR's birthday!!) at 7lbs 7oz, 20.5in. We're having our first night home, so no time to give all the details now, but everyone's healthy and we're settling in!

Thanks all! It's about time to feed her but soon we will post the story. We're so in love but she's a lot of work

[healz413]

cetcar, yup, newborns are a ton of work!And if you're feeling overwhelmed and like you can't believe what you got yourself into, that is totally normal. It doesn't mean you don't want or love your baby. It's a huge adjustment and lack of sleep and post-partum hormones (which are probably in full swing now) don't make it any easier. It does get easier, though. And the sleep (usually) gets better. And the hormones subside.

Lovely baby. COngrats.

Hi everyone, and thanks again for the notes!! We're still doing well, spending all day(s) feeding, cleaning, napping, and snuggling. The little lady is so sweet & after meeting with a great lactation consultant, she's feeding well, and letting us get some naps (not necessarily at night...but we'll take it).

Still working on the birth story, but since we can't help ourselves, here's a few more pics of Miss Maddylou
