Introducing: Georgia Lynn Marie

So, I didn't get back to this blog before the baby came. Not that I didn't have time- but I spent that time trying to figure out if I was in labour- everyd day. Turns out you CAN have contractions for 4 weeks BEFORE you have the baby. It's called prodromal labour- but that's another story for another time. Anyway- after spending an insane amount of time timing contractions every day, I finally went into labour at 4 am on May 21.
10 hours and NO epidural later (turns out when you try to wait it out, sometimes it works and by the time you ask for drugs, there's no time left for them :P) Georgia was born at exactly 2:00 pm.

And then there were 4.

Liam and I are, of course, very happy. Micaela is, well, adjusting. She is getting lots of attention from everyone that comes by and we are trying not to let her feel too displaced, but it's going to take some time.

She does like her little sister though, at least most of the time :)

So we're back at it- no sleep, feeding all the time, diapers. Only this time, with a toddler as well. It's interesting to say the least. I have to say, it's not quite as scary as I thought it would be. In fact, I am quite happy.

Thank goodness :)
