Truman's a big brother!!!!!

[trumansmom]

Eleanor Ann has arrived! I only have a second, so will post birth story later, but I just wanted to share our great news. All of my fears about her size were completlely unfounded. She's an absolute petite little thing!

Here's a link to the hospital website pictures:

I'm doing great - within an hour of delivery I felt better than I've felt in months!

Oh, and I discovered that it's possible to be induced and still have a @#%! natural childbirth - whether you want to or not!!! More later....

Off to nap...

Jeanne
Mom to Truman 11/29/01 and EDD 4/23/04!

Congrats! What a teeny thing she is. She looks like she's swimming in her little shirt (Is that a shirt from the hospital and, if so, is it a Rubens Baby Co. shirt? The company is owned by part of my family. The, I kid you not, Rubens Baby Factory is in Chicago. Lately, I feel like a Rubens Baby Factory.). So cute.

It sounds like you had a really good birth experience. You totally deserve it considering what a hard pregnancy you had.

Again, congratulations!

Jeanne, she is absolutely darling!!! How cute is her chin? :) I'm so happy to hear you're feeling better (who are you, Superwoman??) and that this baby's arrival was the relief you've been waiting for!

I can't wait to hear the story of your unintentional natural birth. :)

And how sick is it that I saw Eleanor (I LOVE the name!!) and thought, "Ooooh, I miss my newborn!" She's only 3-months old for Pete's sake!! :D

Get some rest, I can't wait to hear about Truman and his little sister!

[JMarie]

Congratulations! Eleanor is a beautiful little girl! Truman must just be head-over-heels for his little sister. Can't wait to hear the birth story!

BTW - I now have hope that I will get through the next pregnancy without trying to scratch my legs off! So happy you didn't suffer this go-round.

[mom2huskies]

She's adorable- I feel an uncontrollable urge to pinch that sweet little chin like a maiden aunt would. (Ugh) But of course, after a BBB education, I would never touch your darling without asking!!! <LOL>
