hi everyone!!!

sorry I have taken my time to post - I came home yesterday from hopstial - same day as Renee - it was SO fantastic to meet you!! and have a real buddy there to talk to!!

yes, I had another LONG labour and very painful posterior yet again. Oh well, at least this time it was 10 hours less!! only 17 this time!!

I cannot believe after 2 posterior labour/births that both times no stitches, no tears just pain, pain, and more back pain. Hey, it is all over now, and we have a gorgeous little girl named Amara. This is a Sanskrit name meaning eternal beauty and it also comes up in Tibetan names as mother and beauty.

feeding is going well, and I did get a pretty good sleep considering we have a newborn -but I am finding that we have to wake her up for feeds as she is very very sleepy because of a long labour and some jandice.

I look forward to writing personals soon - take care and I will be back online again hopefully tomorrow.
