Sorry for all the rough parts, but man she is beautiful! And I LOVE her name (did you know my oldest, Annie, is actually named Annalise . . . though we almost never use it as she was always an Annie.) Good work Mama! :-)

Good for you! Sunny-side up kids are feisty little ones! I like to believe that since Nathaniel gave me so much trouble in utero and during delivery, he’ll be an angel child. :)

I hear you about labor and being traumatized. I have been traumatized by each of my labors in different ways, but especially the first one! Everything went exactly opposite of how I hoped and planned it would, and when it was over (ie. he was born) I wasn’t sure if I was okay or not. I had my last without any pain meds (my epidurals only partially worked for a while before, but I always have to be induced due to blood pressure) and I completely understand the feeling that you’re just going to break and that there’s no way this can end well (for you). I have a super good memory, so I have to consciously try to push the memories aside or there is no way I would ever do it again.

Alice is completely precious and I am so glad for your little family! You did it, and as awful as it was, I’m sure she was worth it! ;-)
