Our New Addition!!

Well, it's been a long while since I posted. But I have some exciting news! Our new little one arrived on 2/26 at 12:22pm. She weighed 7lbs 14oz and was 20 inches long. And I am so proud of myself, why you ask? Because I went all natural with no kind of drugs not even an epidural!! It was definitley painful and hard, but totally worth it. I was able to get up pretty much right away, no back pain no numbness no nausea. And the baby was so alert right after birth. I also went with a midwife this time and that made all the difference in the world. She was so kind and gentle. Everytime she saw that I was tensing up she would come and whisper in my ear to relax and take a deep breath. The lights were dim the whole time too which helped me relax. Since we've been home it has been great. We have been cosleeping most of the time. Mostly because she won't sleep any other way. But I am really enjoying sleeping next to a snuggly warm little baby! The other children are doing great too! They just adore their new little sister, especially her big sister. She is such a little mommy and a great helper. I'll add some pictures when I get the chance!!
