Rowan Elizabeth Davie
Born September 29, 2010, 7:07 am
Weight: 7lbs 7oz
She came out hale and healthy, and pretty bright eyed as you can see from the top picture (approx 15 minutes old).
Labor ended up being about 18 hours. Rowan wasn't in a great position so poor Bob had extreme pain from back/hip labor. Our drug-free birth plan was tossed right out the window and Bob had 2 epidurals and a spinal, but none of them helped much (the spinal let her sleep for about an hour). At the end we could see the head, but Bob didn't seem able to push that last little bit so we got the vacuum out, which sucked (unintentional pun). Turns out that baby was in something of a philosopher pose, with one hand propped under her chin, which is why she wouldn't pop out. But, we got her in the end, and it was awesome!
As of this writing Mom and Baby are doing great, and we're all getting to know each other. Good times!
