SHE - Arrived!
The birth story will have to wait. Sleep calls, as does my newly arrived darling. Baby Loquacious was born on Monday morning, just a few minutes too late to celebrate her Ye-Ye's birthday. But she arrived (after much difficulty), and is a healthy 8 pounds 11.5 ounce, 19" round-eyed bundle of milk-loving, loud-crying joy.
Let me just say, before I eventually find time to hammer out the birth story, that the best laid plans of man are nothing compared to the plans of God. For all the time I spent researching and making up my birth plan, the ROI was really quite disappointing. If my plan had been a checklist, I probably would have hit...um...maybe 4 out of 50 things, and the rest would have gone in just about the complete opposite direction of anything I would have ideally wished for. So for the few of you who ready this blog daily or know me outside the blog world, you probably already know what that means ;)
My baby wants to nurse...again. So begins this next awesome, scary, wonderful and blessed season of my life. Let's pray that the milk adventures go well! :)

May the Lord grant you and your husband lots of joy and patience and strength, especially in the next little while. Wish I would see her in person!
Anyway, I will not leave any advice (because many others will probably do so to you in person). Just know, if you need to vent or rejoice, I'm here! :)
