Our New Swemerican

We had a beautiful little girl two weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to updating my blog (of course).  After 39 hours in labor and emergency surgery afterward to remove the stuck placenta it was quite an adventurous birth, but our babe is perfect...eating, pooing, farting, burping, and sleeping like a champ.  Since I'm not planning on using real names for my family on this blog I'll have to come up with a good blog-name for her.  Being a first-time mom is wonderful, even though I had a nasty case of the baby blues last week and spent a few days drenched with hormones, breast milk, and tears.  I'm really thankful that after her dramatic arrival (she came out blue with the cord around her neck twice in addition to the postpartum surgery) she is very healthy and perfect and I've had zero problems breastfeeding.

That's all the news for now...time for yet another nap....zzzzzzz
