Introducing Cedar Olivia
Posted by Inexplicable Ways on August 11, 2009
I promise to post a full birth story in a few days with strange details like how “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” played into my labor and how my stomach kept growling while I birthed. And how I kept trying to doula myself–not a good thing.
In the meantime, the important stuff:
We have a girl! 8lbs 10oz. She was born Sunday afternoon after a comfortable 5 hour labor. Scott caught her in the water. Everyone is doing well. Cedar is such a healthy, strong dumpling. And a GREAT nurser!
