She's here and I sort of am!

I had the baby on Wednesday afternoon at 5:27 pm. She weighed in at 7lbs 14 oz and was 20 inches long! Her name is Ava Dulcea Gibbons

This is a great thing to read on one of my first mornings in Pittsburgh! Hooray and congratulations

Thank you

Oh, the dreaded drug headache. That should clear up soon, once that crap completely leaves your system.

And, Dulcea! That's awesome! Such a pretty name, but you NEVER hear it!

Thank you so much for the nice words! As for N...well, it's been constant wedgies and noogies. I'm ready to kill him...with more wedgies.

Any chance of us seeing any pictures of the new little one?... I do hope you start to feel more like yourself soon, on a physical level. I guess with a shift that huge, it takes a while, huh? But at least you have a bundle of delight to help you through it. She really sounds special. Best to you all!

I'm hoping to have pictures within a week. My cousins have the digital cameras, I used a disposable one and it's not done yet. I have to have it developed put onto a disk and upload it. That and her baby picture from the hospital. She's freaking beautiful. I can't wait to show her off. Her dad will have to help me upload images to LJ, I've never done it before.

I've read every page of every paper the hospital and doctors have given me, from what I should expect to feel to what I should be doing, or not be doing, which is pretty much everything at this point. Over half of mothers suffer post partum, but I don't understand it. I'm thrilled to death with my baby, I just wish I was able to do laundry as well lol.

Thank you so much for the well wishes <3

You're more than welcome! And I think I get what you mean. You want to be more mobile. Obviously I've never had a child, but I can understand where you're getting at. When you're independent and used to getting around readily, suddenly finding yourself so stationary must be frustrating. At least you're enjoying your little one! I look forward to seeing the shots of her.

Yeah, as soon as you get them developed I'll walk you through scanning them, from there as I said I'll resize as necessary. No one is looking forward to seeing her than I at this point.

I didn't peg you as one to suffer post partum, you're too realistic and secure in yourself to spiral in to a depression after the birth.

Congratulations! :-D
