the Luvbaby has arrived!

February 2nd 2007, on a full moon at 4:42 am, the luvbaby decided to move out of her momma's tummy into bigger digs! After 12 or so hours of labor, Skyla Rose Jones was born at 5:43pm. She weighed 7 lbs 8 ounces and measured 20 inches long. She arrived 3.5 weeks ahead of her due date, and broke my water unexpectedly. We had just celebrated her baby shower 6 days earlier and thought we had at least a month to prepare. Everything happened so fast we had no time to be fearful or hesitant. So we did what we had to do and now we have a baby!

The labor was pretty normal, the recovery swift and it feels like she's lived with us longer than 2.5 weeks! Her coming early meant I spent less time being totally uncomfortable and never really got a chance to waddle. She's currently making up for it by her many poops and spit ups.
