 Eep!  I had a baby!

Some things I'd like to share:

I was one of those people apprehensive about bonding.  My advice (not that you asked) is not to read anyone else's description of bonding and expect your experience to be the same...but have faith that it will occur for you in its own way

I am so jealous of how gorgeous you look in that first picture (as does she!) I am sure I am going to be one of those torn up women, I'm just not classy like that :)

She is beau-ti-ful! :oP

Congrats!

Babies indeed have ESP. The second I leave the room, sit on a toilet, or pick up a fork...she knows. And she isn't having it.

LOL, isn't that the truth.

Congratulations! She's beautiful.

How did you look so amazing after birth? I was a sweaty, swollen, ugly mess!!!! She's gorgeous, and I totally understand everything you just said. Especially the boob strapped to her face thing. Haha easy to just roll over and pop it in her mouth.

Ps- love the name. We named our daughter kendra. I love names that you don't hear a lot! Gorgeous baby and momma!

Thank you, but I was a swollen mess! I really lucked out with whatever hair product I had in... it held the curl after the sweating. =)
