:: SHE'S HERE ::


I don't have the awake-ness to write much, but I thought I'd share a picture of my sweet new baby girl. Piper Mae was born 3/24 at 12:57 am. Labor was a breeze and I was able to have a VBAC. WAHOO! We just got home from the hospital. Cohen thinks she's pretty cute and always wants to burp her and get her bottle. Thanks for all of the induction tips. I didn't have to use any of them. I went into labor on my own. I dilated without Pitocin. My water broke by itself. I'm so proud of my body.

I know I've said it in every other possible internet forum, but CONGRATULATIONS! We are so excited for you. That is awesome that everything went naturally for you. She is so beautiful and I can't wait to see more of her and Cohen.

I absolutely love the name Piper, but I also adore Mae. It's a name we've considered and it's exactly how I'd spell it if we had a little girl one day.
