She has arrived!

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I went to my doctor on monday and was already 5 cm dialated. So I

went into the hospital and never felt a contraction and they were at

1 1/2 minutes apart. Dr started me on pitocin to speed up things

but I never got past 6 cm so we opted for a c-section. My little

peanut arrived at 8:57 pm on 1/19/04 5 pounds 12 oz and 19 " long.

She was in alot of the muconeum (sp) so she just couldnt wait to get

here. I was so hoping she would wait til Feb 1st but she didnt.

But we are home now and everything is super fine. I can not believe

that I am finally a mom! But I have over 300 emails and no time for

the computer right now so I will be changing to no email for the

time being and when I get a chance, I will pop in to see what is

going on. I want to thank everyone for all your advice and answers

to my questions. I may end up with more questions since this is my

first baby. If you would like to see a picture of my little peanut,

go to thatsmybaby.net and click on view photos. The pass code is

040-48192 and please feel free to sign her guest book. Her name is

Rhianna Marie Atkins.

Thanks again for all your help and good luck to those traveling down

the same path of motherhood.
