My baby is here :)

[steen]

Well actually I had her on Dec 2nd. I'm so glad that whole first week is over with (and that I am no longer prego!) I went into labour naturally this time which was SOOO much better then being induced. I ended up needing an epidural again since I was ready to jump out the window I was in so much pain (although I had to wait an hour for it since the doctor guy was busy in the ER! horrible) But it was totally worth it. She is the cutest and was a pound smaller then my first (7'11 instead of 8'11 - but my first was 9 days late).

I found that things I worried about the first time around I am still worrying about this time around, but I don't need to check her breathing every two seconds at night like I did with my first. So this momma gets a bit of sleep at night. I don't have a picture of her to post yet though.

The funny thing is I just had this one and I am already thinking of a third! With two girls now it would be nice to try for a boy (3 is my max though!) but at the same time we will see how things go when this one starts to get around as well. I feel like I haven't been on this site in ages! I've been so busy with the two little ones!

I do have a question though. When any of you had your babies how often did you have baby well checks with your doctor? we saw ours 2 days after being out of the hospital and our next appointment is when she is 2 months old. I am nursing and I thought with my first we went more often? But maybe since I am more confident with nursing this time and he wasn't concerned with anything about her that that is why? Just curious. I thought that was strange. I know I can go in anytime if I have questions or concerns or if I even just want to get her weight to make sure she is gaining, which I have no worrys about since she is pooping/peeing enough.

Anyways I'm super excited about this little one being here as you can tell and just wanted to share the good news. Now I just have to be patient and wait until my doctor gives me the okay at 6 weeks post partum to work out because I tell you I have the workout bug so bad right now but I think 2 weeks post partum is pushing it. To makes matters worse I ordered Zumba exhilarate which just arrived yesterday. So hard to not pop it in and start dancing my bum off LOL

Congratulations on your new baby..they are so cute at that stage. You certainly stress less when you have a second and by the time you have a third you are even more laid back.

I had 2 girls before I had a boy..and 3 is enough for us too..

steen, you are in Ontario. Do you have access to the free 6 week midwife service? Do you live close to a public health unit -- the nurses will do a well check too (at your home or at the health unit)

Congrats on your baby. There is nothing as amazing as watching them grow. My oldest will be 4 in April and my baby just started solids two weeks ago.
