Baby Fantasy is here, and I'm back to business! Yay! I missed you freaks...LOL. Here's the synopsis of the baby's arrival:

Last Saturday (Sept. 6th), after trying just about everything to induce, I went to bed frustrated, and woke in a pool of baby juice...needless to say, I rushed to the hospital only to labor for 16 long hours, and push for two more. Aiyanna Lyn (aka Baby Fantasy) made her appearance at 6:22 pm on September 7th, and has been such a pleasant, laid back little munchkin- I absolutely adore her!

After a long hospital stay (we left on last Wed.), we were bombarded by friends and family the entire weekend- things are just starting to calm down, and I have been sneaking online while she's asleep, and in between catnaps. As promised, here are a couple of pics of my little one:

Thanks everyone! Thank you Auntie Loth for the blessings- she arrived just perfectly (and naturally- the epidural wore off right before I started pushing... *__*).

I've definitely been napping when she does- like 16 hours of napping...LOL. My laundry and room is angry because of all the napping, actually...oh well, I guess I have an excuse.

Auntie Nikki- I will certainly hit you up for questions- I'm so new at this...LOL! I've never even babysat an infant this young, although I'm a certified child care instructor. For shame!

Aww Auntie Tami- I know your DIL is freakin' out! Being overdue sucks, but I think its the baby's way of telling the world that it wants to cook for a bit more before making his/her big debut! My suggestion for her to eat pineapple and walk around a lot- I did last Saturday and my water broke early the next morning (dunno how much of that was luck or my body just being ready...LOL).

Thanks so much for all your kind words, Fab! LOL running on fumes is what I've been doing since like my 2nd month of pregnancy...at least now I don't feel all fat and achy and nauseous!

Man, I've been having such trouble taking the help...thank you for that. I do feel like superwoman, and feel bad that my household chores and grocery trips and stuff have been slacking on account of me and the baby lazing around the house. It's hard to juggle all the new tasks the baby presents (eat, sleep, poop, repeat) and my old ones, AND think about what to do after my "grace period" in terms of income...SMH.

We're definitely receiving all your prayers- thank you everyone for your words and thoughts, and for being understanding through my transition. :OP
