We are home! And I'm now a mommy of TWO!
Oh boy, what a ride! As you all know from my post, my contractions started on Friday afternoon. My co-workers rushed me out the door and I drove home. Called the doc, who said to wait another hour, so DH and I proceeded with the first part of our date night, dinner!
Yeah, well, our dinner date rapidly turned into a hospital date because not even 10 minutes into our appetizers, the contractions started coming on strong, consistently 5 minutes apart. Our waiter looked petrified, as did the other patrons  So we packed up our meals, paid and ran over the hospital.
Unfortunately however, despite my screams of agony, the nurses didn't beleive I was in "active" labor because I was still only 3cm. It wasn't until my water broke that they admitted me, but at that point all the OR's were full. So they couldn't give me a spinal until they knew a room would open up, which wasn't for THREE HOURS. In those three hours, I endured the most excruciating back labor - the contractions came in waves every 20-30 seconds with no break, and I'm positive I scared the living daylights out of every other pregnant woman on the triage floor with all my screaming!
Needless to say, the little peanut was FINALLY delivered, by c-section, at 11:02pm, on Friday night.
She's only 5.2lbs, but the healthiest little baby! No issues whatsoever so far, not even jaundice! She latched on like a champ right away, and eats SO ferociously that, in only 3 days, she's already gained weight!
And so far, knock on wood, but she's SOOO good! She rarely fusses, except when she has a dirty diaper or is hungry. And yes, god forbid I'm a minute or two late, she has no shame in flexing those strong lungs of hers 
So, I'm in heavin  Alex is beaming proud, though admittedly a little more clingy and whiny than usual, which was to be expected. Now that we're home, though, I expect she'll take on her big sister duties with mighty pride
And so here, I introduce, little Yael... Image Attachment(s):

Re: We are home! And I'm now a mommy of TWO!
Congratulations! She is just precious and it looks like Alex is going to be a great sister.
Side question-how do you pronounce her name? I can't figure it out and I am sure I am butchering it when I say it aloud (in my head, that is )
