Presenting...

She's here! I'm happy to report that our sweet pea, Violet Eve, made her appearance 7/19 @ 11:07am, coming in at 9lbs even (tho she did spray poo everywhere on her exit, so the nurse said there should be an asterisk after that stat) & 21".


Active labor was no picnic (I think someone turned down my epidural a wee bit too much) and the first night home was a struggle, but all is well now that we have a feeding strategy (read: I've gotten over my fervent anti-formula stance).

I think we made out pretty well in the baby lottery. ;)

More once I manage to string together more than 3 hours of sleep...
