Welcome to the world little Zazi!

Zenbliss-
I'm sorry that your birth experience wasn't good due to the nurse.
I love the outfit. Your DD is beautiful. Woo woo - way to go DH for the hotel. What a wonderful suprise.

Enjoy your daughter. My favorite thing is to just stare at mine and feel her little hands, ears, feet, etc. Isn't it great to be a mommy?

Welcome to the world, Zazi!! I've really been waiting to hear about your arrival!

Hope you're all doing well. Sorry about the bad nurse (that really sucks...I got the bad OB!) but glad that it all turned out great in the end. She is absolutely adorable! Can't wait to share the baby days with you. :-)

[sweetbasil]

Zen,
What a little doll you've got there--- thanks for sharing that pic, she's adorable! Enjoy your first week together, and I hop eyou're feeling great soon! Your DH sure is setting the bar high for future Mother's Days, isn't he! ;)

Congratulations,

[zen_bliss]

wow! scheherazade "zazi' is finally here and i cannot get enough of holding her and looking at her and loving her!

labor started off great then by luck of the draw, i got an, um, unsupportive (i'm being generous here) nurse, and delivery got unnecessarily complicated and stressful for all of us. (it got so bad, my uncle, who is sort of my surrogate parent & was there for support, immediately called my aunt and apologized for not being there for my cousins' births, LOL.)

DH has completely overwhelmed us with amazing daddyhood. As a coming home gift, he whisked us off straight from the hospital to a night in a serene hotel with fireplace and private terrace for relaxing and recuperating. i flipped out about the extravagance, but he was absolutely right that it was priceless -- it helped me let go of the frustations about the birth experience, and I will never forget that our first night was spent by firelight, and nursing outside with flowers in bloom and hummingbirds and squirrels visiting. meanwhile, our place was being cleaned for a tidy homecoming.

we are so enchanted by her -- she is so good, and strong, and funny! she cries laaa laaa, instead of wahhh! we feel like the luckiest and happiest people in the world.

i'm sending happy labor vibes to all who are coming up next! many blessings to all!
