5:00 pm - leave hospital
Sounds exciting doesn't it? It was actually awesome. So much better than the last time. Baby Lainey is doing well. Just has her days and nights mixed up. Sleeps all day, awake all night. All that fun stuff about having a newborn (no sleep, painful nipples, squirt bottles, mesh panties (you know you all love them), maternity clothes STILL (I know some of you skinny biotches wear your size 2 jeans home - and I hate you all), boobie hats (better known as breast/nursing pads), etc (feel free to add your own). I'm feeling great - really.
Gwen is doing fine I think. No hitting or spitting venom yet. It's only been 2 days. We'll see how things go the next few days/weeks.
I'd post pictures of her, but we haven't decided if she's cute or not. When we make up our minds I'll post something. Not really, but...you know, newborns aren't really the cutest things ever. They all look like wrinkled old men.
So there you have it.

Congrats McKelle! I can't wait to see pictures, I'm sure she's a doll. Sorry I have no way to relate to all the nursing babies and junk, good luck with all that.
I'm so glad round 2 was so much better that round 1. Hopefully its an indicator of how easy the next few months will be as well :)
p.s. did you have your mom's in there for the delivery?
Congrats McKelle!
well I already made your mind up so post a pic already.
and how much do I love the name Laine? A lot. Lane is my dad's name and I LOVE it for a girl. I like her already.
MESH PANTIES YESSSS!!!! Give your squirt bottle an affectionate pat from me. good times... good times...
Yay! I bet you LOVE not being pregnant anymore! We can't wait to see her!
Yeah, congrats!!! I can't wait to see her! I'm so glad everything went well and it was a good experience. By the way, you are not making it seem very glamorous...can I turn back now?
Yay!!! Awesome labor and delivery, so fast and easy, something I've yet to experience. I can't wait to see pictures of the new little princess--oh and I love her name!
Congratulations Stanley Family!!!!
CONGRATS!!!! I am so happy for you. And jealous that you went into labor EARLY and on your own. Not fair. Sounds like everything went great. You hardly stayed at the hospital. That is seriously one of my favorite parts. I would stay there for a week if they let me. :)
I'm so happy that she came all by herself!!!! Good job. I love this post, it again...is so honest. I totally forgot about the mesh panties...hilarious. I love those things. I love the name "Laine." But seriously....post a stinkin picture already!!!!!!!
Congratulations! David showed me her picture. She is beautiful!
Congrats! Yeah for such a great labor!! I love that name!!
Congratulations!!! I can't wait to see pictures. I am so glad it everything went better this time. That is awesome. Good luck! I wish i was there to babysit Gwen so you could get some sleep.
Congrats McKelle! I also absolutely love the name Laine. I hope she treats you well over the next few weeks!
