I'm a Mom!

I think most of you guys are also my friends on Facebook, but I thought I would share here very quickly that Art and I had a baby girl this morning!

Sophia Grace was born at 12:36 am, 6lbs 110z, 19 inches. Art chose the name Sophia because it means Wisdom.

I had 18 hours of labor, but seriously, it only felt like 9, because the first 9 hours were so mild and inconsistent, I wasn't even sure if it was the real thing!

She was born in the water, after 45 minutes of serious pushing. I tore some, but nothing serious that won't heal in a couple of weeks.

I'm very much planning on doing a detailed labor and delivery post in the future. I feel like I could do one today, but I know I'm supposed to rest as much as possible, and I will do what the doctor ordered.
