Labor and Delivery have to be one of the hardest things I have ever done but so completely satisfying. She was born after 13 hours of labor and 3 of pushing (although in my state of mind I only thought I pushed for 30 minutes). I'm sore in muscles and places I never knew I had! We stayed overnight at the birth center and came home today around 2. Nursing has been a bit of a challenge but we are both learning and I'm sure we'll get better at it with practice. I'll try to post more details of the event within the next week or so.

She is adorable!! Will she have a nickname?? :-)
Probably, although we are still debating and trying to figure out her personality. Current candidates are Maggie and Greta
Cute pics! She looks older than a day old! Really adorable. I can't believe you are already at home!?
What a cutie! Congrats on being DONE with pregnancy for now!
I had wondered about Maggie, but I didn't think of Greta. I am so glad she is finally here where we can see her. :-)
Congrats! We'll be praying for a smooth transition for you.
She is precious Kelley!! Don't worry breastfeeding does get easier. Caleb was not easy the first week, but my Mom was La Leche League so she really helped. :) Stick with it I love it!!
She is so cute and a big girl!
She is really cute Kelley! (Labor.I remember in the first hours after Lydia was born wondering if I could ever do "that" again!!) Breastfeeding DOES get easier and less painful and you know you are doing the best thing for her.
That was me...not ben, obviously =)
Wow! Congratulations. I guess I have something similary to look forward to still, but I am so excited for you now that you are done and the finished, precious little being is actually visible! May God richly bless you all in the days ahead!!!
Congratulations!! She is BEAUTIFUL!!! You got one of those big babies that does not look newborn. She is chubby and so alert!!! I hope BF gets easier for you. Hang in there and keep your Lanolin nearby!!!
I am biased but my niece is adorable!!
What a beautiful baby!!! I love her name. Congratulations! I got to go home from the birth center 6 hours after Claire was born and it was wonderful to get to come home so quickly and get used to life at home with a new baby. Oh I'm so glad and excited that everything went well! And I agree about labor/delivery. Hardest things EVER, but soooo completely worth it and wow... what an experience! It's amazing that our bodies can even DO that!
congratulations! she's adorable!
Congratulations! She's adorable!
I misspelled this on my blog. It's Calendula. I found this at vitamin shoppe http://www.vitaminshoppe.com/store/en/browse/sku_detail.jsp?id=SH-1032
And Hyland's is a great brand. I use their vitamin C tablets for Emma, and their teething stuff.
Oh, wow, Kelley! That is so exciting! I am very happy for you guys. ;-) She's really adorable. I saw the dropshots photos. Well done Mom 'n Dad!! I can't belive you already had her, though! Time has been flying. I was sure you were only about 6 months or so! But I bet you're glad I wasn't right. LoL
