We're home!!! PICS in album!! UPDATED with birth story!
I am exhausted and have a headache from the epidural so I haven't been on the computer.
I want to post my birth story but I need a little more time for that...so maybe in a few days.
I just wanted to show everyone some pics of my beautiful baby girl. I was completely unprepared for how much I would love this baby. She is my everything!!! I can't get over it.
Overall I had a really great birth experience and I will post more about it later. All I can say is epidurals rock....even if they do give you headaches like the one I have now.
I put pictures of my angel in my album.
Thanks for all the well wishes while I was gone!!  
ETA: My Birth Story
Thank you for all the well wishes!!!
So I went into labor on November 20th at about 10 pm. Light contractions, nothing crazy. But I wasn't sure if it was labor at that point yet because it felt like cramps, which I expected because I got my membranes separated at the doctors that day.
So about 4 am I woke up DH and my contractions were about 6 minutes apart and last between 45-60 seconds. So we headed to the hospital...Maimonodes Medical Center in Brooklyn. So we head to the hospital, but were not admitted because I was still only 2 cm dialated and my contractions weren't strong enough. They had me "walk" for 2 hours which did nothing, so I went home. Then we went back 7 PM that night and the contractions at that point were about 2-3 minutes apart and lasted 50 seconds. But I was still only 3 cm. They were pretty painful at that poing too. So the doctor admitted me. But I didn't get an epidural until about 11 PM. Once that happened I was able to relax and sleep for a while. At about 6 am Thursday (November 22nd) morning I was 9 cm. Then around 7 am I was fully dialated, but the baby still had about 4 cm of the birth canal to travel down. She said we would start pushing in about 15 minutes. But then they decided they wanted to wait until the baby was closer so i wouldn't have to work so hard. When she checked me the baby was crowning. I pushed for about 10 minutes and the baby was born at 7:55 am on November 22nd. She weighed in at 8 lbs 5 oz and was 21 inches long. It really was an amazing experience. After about 34 hours of labor she finally arrived!! And she is perfect.
I was in love instantly!!!
So that is my story in a nutshell.
