How scary not knowing if your hubby would be there by your side. So glad he made it and was able to share your birth experience. <br /><br />P.S. Our little babes our so close in age. My tiny guy was born Dec. 10 -- 2 weeks early!

What an experience huh? My labor was similar and intense and I labored for practically two weeks and kept getting sent home. But yes, it is worth every tear, headache, fear, loss of sleep and crazy, but wonderful emotions. Glad your husband made it. Your little angel is perfection.

I had both of my children naturally because epidurals scared me so I definitely give you two thumbs up. The epidural scared me more than the labor itself. Contractions are a feeling that just cannot be described or conveyed unless you have been through it.<br />Congratulations and enjoy that precious little girl. The time passes by so quickly. I looked up one day and realized that my oldest is 14 and about to go to high school next year.<br />Can&#39;t wait to see her fashionable outfits!TheFashionableTeacherhttp://fashionableteacher.onsugar.com[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565040365906452039.post-50101392270849200972012-12-19T09:04:27.769-08:002012-12-19T09:04:27.769-08:00She is precious!<br /><br />www.daisyraeboutique.com<br />www.kacieskloset.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011150271730251091[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565040365906452039.post-82152012276324316432012-12-19T06:21:36.671-08:002012-12-19T06:21:36.671-08:00Congrats !

I bet that was nerve wracking seeing if he was going to make it to your delivery in time. Contractions feel crazy don&#39;t they? I didn&#39;t really know what to expect because no one in my family had had kids yet and I wanted to have a natural birth. I unfortunately had to have a C-section because of complications, but I was glad I was able to experience that part even if it was painful. And isn&#39;t it crazy when they tell you not to push and wait for the doctor?? I dilated to 9 cm and needed to push and they kept telling me not to. At some point your body just does it for you. LOL. But I&#39;m glad that everything worked out okay! <br /><br />She is gorgeous and I was totally wrong about you having a boy! LOL. Enjoy her and cuddle her always. &lt;3<br /><br />toniAnonymous[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565040365906452039.post-5771768279218186372012-12-18T11:15:26.047-08:002012-12-18T11:15:26.047-08:00Congratulations to you and your family!
