Well, Holly just gave birth

Well, Holly just gave birth (on Sunday April 13th) and has pretty much forbidden any documentary evidence of what she's looked like for the past couple of days.

Actually, there are some pictures of Holly in the hospital, but she won't let them near the website. :)

This one is the closest you'll come to seeing Holly's hospital adventure in pictures:

You can hardly blame her for being camera-shy. She woke up at 6:00 A.M. last Saturday to find that her bag of waters had ruptured. She wasn't having so much as a hint of contractions.

When she went up to the hospital, she was immediately given Pitocin (sp?) to induce labor. And labor she did... for the next 26 hours.

During this time, Holly's cervix made some progress, but the baby's head was nowhere near the right position. So, she ended up getting a C-section. Talk about the worst of both worlds!

Holly is recovering nicely in most ways, but the healing incision makes it difficult to hold (and, therefore, to feed) little Daphne.
