Ta Da!
Little Limbo entered the world on Monday, October 6th at 1:34 pm. Labor was a breeze, as labors go. The aftermath? Not so much. I ended up in the OR, had 4 transfusions and a 4th degree laceration. LL ended up in the NICU bc of breathing problems and an injured shoulder. More on the World's Scariest Birth Story later... just in time for Halloween! As of yesterday (Friday) afternoon, we're both home, doing fine and I'm head over heels in love with a much younger man.
Congratulations! I'm glad to hear the birth went well, and pleased that despite the carnage of life after birth that you are home, settling in.
I look forward to hearing all about it.

Congrats!

MM- very exciting. I'm so glad labor was easy- what happened afterward that triggered all that? Can't wait to hear more about Little Limbo Boy.

Yeah! I've been thinking of you often and am so glad to hear you are home. A boy...how wonderous. You know you are going to have to pry yourself away long enough to post a couple of pictures of LL.
Congrats, MM. Hugs, hugs and more hugs.

Congratulations! I'm so sorry about the problems afterwards. How are you? How is LL's breathing and shoulder? What was the nature of the problem? I'm glad you're settling in - I am so SO happy for your little family! Now you know what true love really is... Incredible, eh? I'm ticked pink! Get some rest! In the interim, will be on tenterhooks waiting to hear the whole shebang. : ) xoxoxo

Hope you're resting and getting some sleep in; I also hope you're enjoying everything - even the stress! Can't wait to see pics of the wee little lad! When you have a chance, of course. Be well, and thanks for your kind words. : )
