I still don't understand that "urge to push" thing. For me, it was pure peristalsis, and not doing it would be like not throwing up. If I'm not in control, how can I stop?

I still have a list somewhere of hopelessly archaic names that I was never going to be allowed to use, like Eudora (also was voted down on Isadora, Theadora, and Dorothea), Beatrice, Eugenia (yeah yeah, so I happen to like the Princesses' names).

Congratulations!

I'm also sorry that your birth plan didn't go the way you wanted (I've been reading the posts, though not commenting), but I'm just so glad to hear that you and baby are healthy, and that you didn't have to have more surgery, and that there's now a little baby girl to shop for, and that everything's good... I'm so happy for your family!
