New Mommy Erin can type a bit

.
Blogging will be light over the next few weeks, I'm thinking. It's so hard to know what the most important details are to post, with a two-day-old baby.

Birth junkies will want to know that the labor was fairly short, not terribly hard --- the tough part, only about two hours long --- though it culminated in about 60 somewhat scary seconds of shoulder dystocia. Particularly since this is the second time I've had that problem. But all's well that ends well. We had two midwives and two female friends come over --- the friends helped our kids and so Mark could be with me the whole time. The boys missed the actual birth, and I'm kind of glad because it was a bit frightening. They came up after Mary Jane started to cry. [snip] bearing blog
