It's a Girl!

Yes, it's a healthy baby girl!  My baby girl was born on Tuesday, February 10, 2009. She weighed 7 lb. 1 oz. and 21 inches long. I wanted to write about my baby right away on this blog, but I was not able to do anything due to a spinal headache that was caused by my epidural during the delivery.  I had an extra procedure done called an epidural blood patch one day after the delivery to correct the problem. I was also told by my anesthesiologist not to do much for a few days after this procedure was done. The epidural blood patch was very painful, but it was an instant fix for my headache. It was worth having the procedure done. I never want to experience that headache again. My oldest daughter has been very happy having her little sister around and she has been a big helper for both me and my husband. My oldest became sick 2 days after my baby and I came home but she is recovering and getting well. With the oldest being sick and us taking care of our new baby, our household has been going crazy. Overall, we are quickly adjusting to our new life. It's been 12 days since my baby was born and I am finally starting to feel like I have more energy to do stuff.
