    WOW!! Truly Amazing!!!

    SIENA is here :D


    It all started on the 26th of March at 2:30am…. She arrived on the 27th at 3:06 am. We departed from the hospital on the morning of the 29th and we’re all home now doing well.

    Things have been a little rough (I think I'm now up to 10 hours of actual sleep time starting from the 26th) but we figured it out.

    I currently do not have “all” the photos that were taken on my computer but here is one that I do have of my husband holding her just shortly after the birth. So cute, she looks like one of those glow worms all wrapped up. tee hee..

    I’m obviously biased but she’s absolutely perfect!!!!!

    Bless your family

    What a cutie. Sleep when you can and keep your focus on what is important. Some things can wait, but she will grow up SOOOOO very quickly.

    Thumbs up

    Fantastic!

    I am so glad that everything went well and everybody is HEALTHY!!!

    Now go get her a custom engraved PD stick, a copy of System for Ophthalmic Dispensing, and a Optiboard "handle"!



    And enjoy every minute, because before you know it, she will be driving, going to college, and picking nursing homes for ma and pa.;)

    LOL, thanks Karen. My hubby is absolutely perfect too!!!!!

    If you speak with Gail ("a.k.a. #2") please let her know that I had a baby girl. I will e mail her sometime next week (so many individual e mails I need to take care of and send out) thought you might be talking to her before I do. Tell her Michelle from John & Lisa's office. :D thank you, thank you!

    Everything did go well, although I lost a lot of blood, more than the usual. I think we have 5 liters of blood in our body and when giving birth you loose less than a liter, (I am pretty sure Jacqui can chime in on these numbers) I ended up loosing 1.5 liters but I am a warrior and doing well.

    Maybe I will change my handle to Snitusmxmus and pass down Snitgirl to her :D

    System for Ophthalmic Dispensing ~ This will be a good book to read with her come bed time...:cheers:

    1.5 is when I start worrying. If you're doing OK then don't worry about it, sometimes it just happens.

    Congratulations!!

    I'm glad to hear you're doing well Michelle, and little Siena is such a darling. I have to say, Dallas looks a little stunned... :D
