I know some of you are waiting for news and the news is...
Baby was born on July 17th at 1:44 am. That is really the most accurate time of any of our babies born at home. Jared looked at the clock and called it just as she was born-although I think he had a reminder from the midwife to do so. :-)
I was absolutely certain that this baby was a boy. We only had a boy name picked out (it was a name that was told to me rather than me picking so much) and I had only gotten our boy/gender neutral clothes ready. I have been right with every child except Frodo.
Until now...
My amazing friend even managed to catch a pic at the exact moment I checked in between the legs. It is priceless and I just might post it when I get up and start doing things instead of staring at and loving on my new baby. ;-)
Jared went out of town all this week, so I probably won't get to the birth story quite yet. I need to hurry though, before it starts to fade.
Welcome to the world, new baby girl!
:-)
ps, oh yeah...giant child...weighed in at 8 lb 10 oz and 22 inches. I know it won't end up on her resume when she grows up, but I'm sure putting it on mine:
Achievements:
Grew and birthed a giant baby; 8 lb 10 oz and 22 inches long when my current height is only 4'11" and I am generally considered shortwaisted.

Not as giant as Buggy. ;o) Can't wait for the birth story! And pictures!!! Happy Babymoon. :D
Welcome big girl! Was she born in the shower like L?
Awesome!
congrats! i guess there was only a 50 percent chance that it was a boy. the other 50 percent won!
so this is turning out to be sort of like josh and jared. very alike, but very opposite.
we have 4 boys and 1 girl and you guys have 4 girls and 1 boy.
Congratulations! I would love to see pictures! I grew up in a family with 4 girls and 1 boy. Lots of fun....all those horomones! Of course, you know how that is too I guess.
Congratulations! I found you through your comment on Rixa (Stand and Deliver)'s post about VBAMC. I have wanted a natural vaginal birth, and want one this December/January, but my first two ended up as c-sections. I'd like to email you but don't see your email address so I'll invite you to email me by giving you mine: sammymommy @ gmail . com :)
p.s. I'm under 5 ft tall, too.
