After a whole lot of stress about a very easy (2 1/2 hours from the time contractions started) induction and delivery, our baby girl was born on May 11, 2010 at 12.30 pm. She was 6lbs 9oz and 19 1/2 inches long. She is beautiful, with light hair, fair skin and the longest, skinniest little baby feet.
The Fiendling is thrilled that he got a sister and the baby, who is now a 2 year old giant, is handling the new baby pretty well. Emotions are running high, children are behaving oddly, and T has learned to climb out of his crib, but the transition hasn’t been too terrible.
In the two days we’ve been home from the hospital we’ve had 20 people over to celebrate T’s 2nd birthday, my mother has left in a rage, and I’ve gotten mastitis. It’s all fun and games around here.

Congratulations on the baby girl! And my condolences about the mastitis…I’ve been there too many times (well, once is too many with mastitis!) I sympathize.
I hope things continue to go well with the boys and everyone adjusting. And just out of curiosity…was your mother enraged because you told her to stop saying “girlsenberry?”

Oh boy, a girl! Congratulations! And I’m relieved to hear that the delivery went okay, even if everything has returned to chaos.

I can’t wait to hear more tales of life with three. Congrats on your little girl. They are so much fun. I never thought I’d be so in love with having a girl, but I’m so loving the pink and girliness. The diva aspect I could do without.
