Our liitle Selah Elise Feliciano arrived October 16 at 1:26pm weighing in at 9 pounds 4 1/2 ounces (and yes, the 1/2 ounce counts).
We left for the hospital early Tuesday morning after a quick stop at Dunkin Donuts to get coffee for Mo and a dozen donuts (gotta butter up the nurses, we got really good care that day).
It was so strange making an appointment to have a baby! Needless to say by the time they got me all hooked up it was close to 8am and they discovered that I had already started having contractions! So I would've had our little Oct. 16 anyway.
The only problem was I progressed a lot faster than the nurse expected and I had to "hold in" (I will spare you the details) my little one for about 45 minutes before my doctor arrived. We were overjoyed to meet our little one. Isaac is a proud big brother and loves his little sister (sometimes too much).
We are home now and adjusting to being a family of four. And the best part is that I can eat again! All the nausea went away when Selah was born. I can't tell you how many turkey sandwiches I ate in the hospital. Mo thought I was trying to break some kind of record. My platelet count is still low, but I will be tested again at my 6 week appointment and we will see where we need to go from there. We were just thankful my count was high enough to get an epidural!

And the additional pictures of the little addition are where?? :o) Can I put a little baby shout out on my blog too? (you know, when I get a chance to blog more than once every 2 weeks :o)
I am having a REALLY hard time trying to get pics to upload. Maybe one day there will be pictures. Ugh! Frustrating.
Understandable--we're just waiting for our computer to crash--of course now that I've typed that it will know that's what we expect and it'll fizzle out before I finish typing this message . . . :o)
oh, many congrats to you guys! Can't wait to see tons of
pics.
Congratulations! Steve and I are so excited for you guys. I'm sure Isaac will be a wonderful big brother. I love her name! Can't wait to see more pics of her.
isn't that crazy how they decide to come on their own the exact day set for induction? that happened to us too. We always say that Owen wanted to check out of the Mommy Motel on his own instead of being evicted. Ha!
Man, sounds like you had your work cut out for you girl...how on earth do you hold back? Glad everything worked out and you and baby girl are doing well and healthy. And thank goodness you got your appetite back...i chuckled at the thought of how many turkey sandwiches you were eating...you deserved it! YAY! :) Can't wait to see more pics!
