She arrived on Friday afternoon! My water broken later Thurs night but no contractions.

I'm in love. :) I've been slow to post because I've unfortunately had some bad reaction to the epidural...spinal puncture and fluid leaking, causing a "dural" headache/ears ringing/dizzy. I'm on bed rest right now for a couple more days to see if it clears up on its own. If not, back to the hospital I go for a blood patch. Would prefer to avoid that. Ugh. My poor little boys have had it rough this weekend--they really don't get why mommy can't be around the noise. My 4 year old has regressed into all kinds of autism symptoms, but hopefully he'll settle into a new normal soon. Luckily my mom lives nearby so she's been here everyday helping. Thank God for her! BUT, even with all that, this little princess is so totally worth it. I can't believe she's here! I keep pinching myself.
