Meet Lily
Rene starting having contractions at 4:00 am Sunday morning. True to Pisces form, the baby did not want to leave the watery confines of her mother’s womb and made us wait and wait and then wait some more. The midwives and doctors tried everything in their toolbox to coax her out, but she wasn’t budging. After a good fight, they decided to perform a c-section because she was quite content just swimming around and not descending into the world like everyone was expecting.
Rene was full of grace but by the end, she was a bit loopy from a combination of exhaustion, delirium and drugs. She started saying the funniest things, with my favorite quote being:
“Look at all these tubes! You [midwife] should be an electrician. I look like the back of my television.”
Lily was born at approximately 1:00 am Tuesday morning. I didn’t get home until 3:00 am. And I left for Oregon less than 6 hours later.

Shameless!
In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon
, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.
Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

Congrats to her, and welcome to Lily! Btw, if Rene ever needs any info about healing after a c-section, she should check out ICAN. It definitely has helped me out a lot.
Congratulations! She’s adorable. I love new baby posts.
