New arrival!

Well, after a routine prenatal visit on Tuesday discovered I had high blood pressure and my doctor sent me to Labor & Delivery, we embarked on a 12 hour labor ride (8 1/2 of which were under epidural relief!), 2 hours of pushing with no progress, and the arrival of our baby girl via C-section:





Nicola Monique Mehta (Nico, for short)

Born Wednesday, 10/15 @ 9:13 am

19 inches long

5 lb. 13 oz.

and perfect in every way! :)


We are doing well, finally back at home, and taking the slow road to recovery and recuperation.

More pics and entries soon. . .
