Belle was born yesterday at 9:31 am after 6 hours of labor. She weighed 7 lbs 6 oz (I asked Peter to guess her weight and he was right on!) and 20 3/4 inches long. She was born at home, into the water with her father and brother present.
After I was settled on the couch with the new baby in my arms, the midwives came over and Peter and I filled out the birth certificate, assisted with the newborn exam and then I got help getting settled in bed upstairs. It was lovely.
I will post the whole story later, but right now I'm hungry and need to plug the laptop battery in to charge!
Hooray hooray hooray!! Congratulations to the whole family!!! :-D I can't wait to see her.
