It's a Girl!!

Tue Jan 20, 2009, 9:22 PM
Gwendalyn Sequoia Lindsay has finally arrived! She was a week late, but worth all that waiting.

She arrived at 8:40am on January the 16th, weighing in at 8 pounds and 52cm. And we are both happy and healthy.
The neat thing was that my water never broke until she was mostly out and this is considered to be very good luck in many cultures and traditions. I found an interesting read about it on Wikipedia [link] if anyone is interested. I also got my wish of a fully natural birth without any pain medications.

I'm just so overjoyed by the whole experience, with any anxiety that I wouldn't make a good mom gone completely out the window. It's amazing the instincts we have. And this is from someone who never changed a diaper or willingly held a baby in her life. I never really thought much of babies at all before, but I could just stare at Gwendalyn for hours on end and not get bored. She is just so beautiful it makes me want to cry.

My sub ran out (wouldn't have time to use it right now anyway) so I can't submit any photos to my journal, but I'll be uploading a few to my gallery.

Thank you for all the support and new watchers and faves. I will still have time to come on here and read comments, but not much else at the moment unfortunately. She just takes up most of my time, but I wouldn't have it any other way and could not be happier ^_^
But stay tuned for some cute baby cosplays come summer!

Before you say that you\'d die for me make sure that you\'d live for me too.

People are never "themselves." They are merely a combination of everyone they've ever known.

We as people are all the same really, we cry, love, create, we feel pain, we are extremely powerful, beautiful, and extraordinary.
In the end our Race, Class, Wealth, none of it really matters.

There is no reason why we can't understand that.
:iconmarcusstratus:
ooo! congratulations on such a successfull birthing :D see you two around ;)

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
