anticipation

I knew a few readers were waiting in anticipation for when my blog posts stopped, to know when the baby was born. So I tricked you. My baby was born on Friday morning, at 5:07 AM MST weighing a healthy 7 lbs 8 oz. She was 21 inches long (her big brother was the same weight and length).
Nothing like a full moon, and a snow storm to usher in labor (my labor started two days after my due date). My water broke at 5ish pm the night before, I never got contractions, around 10 the doctor told the nurse to hook me up to pitocin. Long story short she was born about 12 hours after my water broke, not bad at all. I don't feel like writing anymore details, if you really want then email me, and I'll send you what my husband sent out to family.
P.S. All things considering I feel great. Way better than I did after my son. Recovery from the second is SO much better than the first. I would totally recommend a second.
P.P.S. My son is so happy to be a big brother, he has been happier the last two days than he has been in months. He likes to hold her, kiss her, and tickle her toes.
