Baby finally arrived!
Amelia was born 4/20 so she's almost a week old now. Labor was much harder than expected (planned a wonderful homebirth that didn't quite work out) and ended up with a vacuum extraction and a 4th degree episiotomy. The labor and delivery nurse said it was one of the most difficult labors she had ever seen...so I guess I'm sort of proud of myself that I made it through. Amelia spent 2.5 days in the NICU due to me developing a sudden onset fever during delivery (which made the quick vacuum extraction and episiotomy necessary). I think both of us were quite traumatized by the whole ordeal.
We're home now and trying to settle in...I have the most wonderful husband in the whole world fortunately. Don't know what I'd do without him.
Amelia is beautiful. I included the second picture so you could get a better view of her eyes!
Awee!!!! So adorable!!!
I'm proud of you for going through what you did, it looks like it was well worth it (amazing name for her by the way, it suits her)
thanks for the update and congratulations!
OMG she's soooooooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!! totally beautiful!! congratulations & i too love her name - so pretty!
you sound like a total warrior with that delivery and holy crap - i have no idea what a 4th degree episiotomy entails and i dont think i want to.. gah!! i'm sorry you had to endure all that - but im sure it was all worth it! (we'll see if you still feel that way when she's driving you crazy as a 15 yr old)

I just looked at the pics more closely...she really looks much cuter and more alert than most newborns! Usually they look a little inhuman at first, but she is beautiful already.
