Elizabeth's Birth




Elizabeth Maggie was born at 3am on Thursday, April 17th 2008. She came into the world kicking and screaming with wide alert eyes to her mother and father's joy and delight. She weighed 7 lb 14.8 oz and measured about 20.5 inches from head to toe.



Earlier that evening Maggie baked cookies to bribe the nurses, went for a walk, had a bath and then got down to some serious laboring.



Good fitness and excersizes from the Bradley Method of natural child birth seemed to have helped a lot. Maggie was happy to be able to give birth without any pain medication after just two hours in hospital.


Here at the bottom there might be a slideshow that requires flash... (4/23/2008) this has been replaced by a slideshow at the top, with more pictures.
