Welcome to the world Yael!

Today my baby Yael was born at 10:40am!

 Thank God that it was a fairly easy labor.  I started having painful contractions around 10:30pm the night before.  After about 2 hours we went to the hospital and after another 3-4 hours I got an epidural.  I was very glad I got the epidural because after the pain was gone (and the nausea), I could concentrate on the significance of the moment.  After another couple of hours, it was time to push!  The nurse and doctor thought that it would take a few hours to push the baby out, but she was out within an hour!  Welcome to the world my love!

Thank God that my Yael was completely healthy from the beginning.  She even latched on and breastfed right away.
