Congratulations again, Mel. You know what they say about the best laid plans. Hopefully next time things will go a little smoother for you :)

you make a girl cry at work!

it was really wonderful to read this. i can't imagine all of the emotions you felt in such a short time period. thanks for sharing :)

[trinity899]

No problem... it was really emotional!

I'm so glad that everything worked out well in the end, even if it wasn't as planned. Congrats, you did it!

Thank you!

I was sure you were having a boy too. I had to blink and check again when you posted her name and her picture. ;)

I didn't get the birth I wanted either for many of the same reasons as you. And I was equally surprised to have a girl when I was sure it was a boy! But I'm glad that it all turned out well and you've got your baby home.

Life is wonderfully funny, isn't it?

I love her name.

[trinity899]

Thank you! I love the name too... it wasn't my first choice but it has definitely grown on me, especially now that she is here.

I was just thinking about you today and wondering how it was going over in Babyland!

My daughter's name (Melanie) was a compromise between her father and I too. I didn't truly love it until I got to know her and she became her own name.

Do you call her Rebecca or a nickname?
