This is just the very short version. A longer version to come, I promise! You know, I wouldn't want to pass up sharing all the drama.
Little Butterfly is a beautiful baby girl! We welcomed her to the Interesting Times Gang on Friday night at 11:36pm. She was 8 lbs 6 oz and 21" long. We had a pretty traumatic birth and I am not ready yet to talk about it. The short version is it didn't work out the way I hoped, but LB didn't seem to suffer for it. We labored at home for 8 hours, transported when progression stopped and heart tones dropped. After 6 hours in the care of Dr. Wonderful (he came in just for us) and no progress, LB was born via cesarean birth.
We have picked a first name but are still deciding on the middle name. I think for the blog world I will just continue to call her Little Butterfly.
Thank you for all your support, congratulations and comments. It means a great deal.
Oh . . . we are over the moon and could not be happier! We have a baby!
