Mia is here! She's beautiful and amazing. If you are not on Facebook/Twitter, here is what I posted there. And you're really missing out if you're not on Facebook, I NEVER update my MySpace any more. I mean really, Facebook is much better.
Details details! So this is the birth story. As you guys who have been following my every update, I went into the hospital Tuesday night for my induction. After having contractions all night my doctor came and after an exam she told me she didn't think the induction was going to work and recommended a c-section. I had not wanted a c-section but I trusted my doctor's recommendation. So the prep began for that.
I am very glad we went with my doc's gut instinct because she saved us from serious complications. I had 30% placental abruption and her cord was wrapped around her neck. We are both healthy and well, thank God. She was 7 lbs 4 oz at birth and almost 19 inches long. She's a tiny little thing, really. Her socks keep falling off.
We are home today from the hospital and I feel really good. I don't have any pain in my incision and just some soreness.
Mia is wonderful. She is beautiful and precious and everything we could have wished for. We are working out some breastfeeding issues but she is healthy and strong and we are totally over the moon for her. Thank God we are both ok.
