She's Here!!!

Helen Ruth was born Thursday, December 21 at 9:09 am! She was 9lbs. 0oz. and 20 1/2 inches long. We are now home from the hospital, and it is a very good feeling. I mentioned in an earlier post that I was trying for a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section), and I succeeded! With a baby 1/2lb heavier than Irene was! I'm still sort of in shock that I did it. I'm currently very sore, but I feel better at two days post-partum than I did at five days after Irene.

Ah, rest! What is that again? Seriously, though, I've been resting as much as I can, and I am feeling better. Not good yet, but a little better every day. :)

Anna, Irene thinks she's pretty cool. She wants to hold her all the time, but sadly, she came down with a cold yesterday and has somewhat restricted contact. :(
