Baby RankRank's Arrival Story
Hello guys!! Yes, I proudly have a two month old now and I feel so bad that it has taken me this long to inform my dear buddies! I've been one busy little momma though :) Here's my story:
I started going into labor on July 6th, having sporadic bouts of contractions that were about ten minutes apart. By the 7th, they were becoming regular and gradually got closer together throughout the day. Once about 8:00 rolled around they were a good 3 to 5 minutes apart so me and hubs headed to LD!! Once we arrived I was sent to a room and my contractions seemed to slow... I was nervous. After I settled in and had a few popsicles I started booming them out. By 9:00 the next morning I was 9cm! Fully dilated at 11, I started pushing my brains out... WOW! My epi started wearing off an hour into the shebang so they gave me more which made me feel extremely sleeping so I rested for about an hour. At 12:57 on July 8th baby Lia was born! Beautiful, bright eyed, and a head full of dark brown locks! Even though she was a week late, she weighed a tiny 5lbs and 6oz (I'm a small lady though) and was 20in long. AMAZING I tell you :) She nursed like a pro from the start and had no problems while in the hospital. Despite a bit of reflux, she has been thriving and nursing like a little piglet. I'm so proud. She is almost ten weeks... today we went for her first shots :( She now weighs almost ten ponds now! Here is a link to see a pic of her and I on photo bucket... I'll put a new one as my default also.

Wow, all that hair! My kids were born with lots of hair but quickly lost it all, they were peach fuzz kids for quite a while. Enjoy the hair! ;)
She's beautiful, absolutely precious, enjoy every moment, it goes by so fast, it really does. :)
Congrats. :)

Nice to meet yah Starby... or shall I say, MISS DUCK! Thank you so much by the way! She sleeps well at night only waking to nurse for about ten minutes and then she's right back to sleep. I think she sleeps so much during the night time and into the late morning that it makes her want to stay awake pretty much the WHOLE day. Which is just fine with me :) She's a pleasant baby!

Sounds like a sweet little girl. I'm sure you will love her to pieces!
See Silly String! Some people are polite enough to call me MISS DUCK! :p
Rank... they have unsuccessfully been trying to catch me and roast me for ages now! They are always coming up with new recipes to roast me in!. and they've only left me with one lonely tail feather! :(
