birth announcement

hello all,
finally after almost 2 months, here it is. I am officially announcing the birth of our baby.
About labor & birth: Labor started on the 23, and i went in the hospital around 1 pm. I got a big birthing room with an extra bed (which came in handy, since we stayed there overnight), and a jacuzzi (which i used but wasnt too thrilled about). I managed to go up to 6 or 7 cms before the epidural. After the epidural, the labor and contractions almost stopped, and had to be put on inducing drugs. Finally i was fully dialated after midnight, but the baby hadn't come down enough to start pushing. So we waited more than 3 hours after the doctors decided to used the vacuum to get her out. My sister (the doctor) was there and was keeping tabs on the procedures. Eventually Sofia was born right before 5 am, but i lost a lot of blood and had an "episode" (fainting, etc). A few hours later, we were all ok, only very tired. I stayed in the hospital for 3 days, I was really ready to come home.

We are now home, and since the weather hasnt been very nice, we dont go out much, except to the doctor and to the "baby check" appointments every week, where they weigh the baby and offer advice for new moms.

Sofia is very big, and has already outgrown a lot of her baby clothes. She is now wearing size 6 months! (for one-pc suits, since she is so long).

Things are getting easier, but we're still learning, so the blog will happen when it happens , hehe.
I've also set up a blog just for her, so this blog can be about something other than the baby (because there are other things besides the baby, right??!!)

nice to see you all again,
hopefully it wont be too long before the next post.
