First Friday.

This is our first Friday as a family.
Man, friends. It's been some week.
I have so much to tell you. My labor was 100% nothing like I imagined. We went in Sunday (only after I blogged, right) and she was born Monday afternoon. Wow. Just..wow.

I feel comfortable showing her here now as you'd not be picking her out of a lineup of newborns.
I want to tell you about labor, for my sake to keep it in some sort of record. I want to talk about the way my view of my body has changed 100%. I want to talk about what the act of overflowing feels like. You may or may not want to take part in all of that but it's coming. I am so in love.

Just after she was born.

She's beautiful and perfect! I've been so anxious to hear from you. Wow, you had a long labor. Both of mine were like 5 hours, but my daughter was in labor for ages every time.

How much did she weigh? What's her name?

Blog away, I'm a grandma, and this is the sort of thing us old ladies live for.

Wow! She's INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL!!! Well, done, Girl! All of my daughter's newborn pics look like she's throwin' gang signs, but she had that exact same pink/blue/white hat. We called her our lil' Thugmuffin!

Nicely done....now the REAL fun begins....

I remember standing in the shower after I had Darling and thinking, "Holy shit, I just did THAT!" Your body's an incredible thing, right? Never knew it until now, huh?

Congrats on Mommyhood...you're gonna be a great one!
