She's Finally Here!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Hello all! I have limited access from my phone and poor service in my room, so if someone wants to move this thread that's fine (it was less clicks and less wait time to start a thread) but I wanted to let everyone know that yesterday 1-2-12 at 11:45 AM my daughter Brianna was born after 28 hours of being at the hospital. Shes perfect, alert, cute as a button... 6lbs 10oz, 20.5 in. It was tough, I ended up with a fever, antibiotics, uncontrollably shaking and at one point they were worried about my lack of progression because I had a fever and it was getting risky... and it sure was hard to go so long without being able to have anything but ice chips ( I have a new appreciation for water now) but we pulled through okay and I'm feeling better by the hour! So here are some pictures and I am going to go pass out now!

[indigoman]

Welcome to the world Brianna, a lot of people have been waiting for your arrival! sorry for the late congratulations been off the forum for a while.

[Mommy2many]

Congratulations Shannon on a beautiful baby! Welcome to the world, Brianna! My husband wanted me to ask you if she will be "hand fed"? :)

Some unsolicited advice...Sleep when she does.

[snakehill]

Beautiful baby! Beautiful name! :)

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Thanks to all for the warm wishes! We are doing well! She has gained 3oz since birth with zero loss... I'll have her tong feeding in no time!!! Haha :) she's perfect! Mommy and daddy have been taking shifts so that we each get some chance for sleep!!!

[EasternGirl]

That is so funny that you said that because I was just going to ask if you had decided if you were going to feed with tongs or not!

[chris-uk]

Tong feeding sounds like it won't be too pleasant for the mother...

[EasternGirl]

Lol...okay it took me a minute to get that...ha ha.

[BlueGarterz]

Wow Congrats! SOO CUTE!! ;)

[mikem]

Congrats on the new addition!

[jitami]

Congratulations, Shannon! She's perfect!

Your labor sounds a lot like my first, but I ended up with a c-section (and a 10 and a half pound baby boy <gg>). Well done my dear. Well done!

[Stefan-A]

Got her switched to pinkies yet?

[andycul]

Congrats Shannon! What a great way to start a new year :)

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

Got her switched to pinkies yet? Not yet! Soon I'm gonna try scenting some with breast milk. LOL

[GarterGuy17]

[count dewclaw]

Congrats Shannon. You did a great job. I do hope you let this one have the run of the house vice a 24x48 viv :)

Recently Le Ann (Mommy2many) was very VERY sweet and sent a little something our way for Brianna. I have gotta say she looks pretty darned cute in her new dress!!!! Thanks again Le Ann for your kindness, it was appreciated by the entire family and you helped my family to understand that yes, you DO make friends on reptile forums (they never quite "get" the whole idea of a forum)
