We just love her.
Sorry it's taken so long to post, but I've been quite busy (diaper changes, breastfeeding, getting ready for H to start kindergarten, breastfeeding, celebrating W's third birthday, breastfeeding).
Quick version of the birth story: I woke at 3:30 AM with contractions, started timing and decided it was time to head to the hospital. Only 4cm when I got there, but contractions were steady every three minutes. After about an hour of pretty strong contractions, the midwife checked me again. I was 8cm!! Time to get ready to push. She arrived a little after 7:00 AM. It was not easy but at least it was fairly quick, and I'm glad I stuck with my natural birth plan. 7 lbs 10 oz! Happily, not too big :)
One more sweet pic.
Yes, I am still super-paranoid about pictures of my children on the internet, but I think babies just sort of look like babies, you know?

What. A. Cutie! We can't wait to meet her in person!
Still in awe and more than a little jealous of your birth story. 4 to 8cm in an hour?!?! *sigh*
