  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

We'd scheduled an induction for Monday, but rather hoped baby would come earlier. She did! 7:18 this morning, after 3 hours of labor and a very fast drive to the hospital. I barely got into the bed and her head was already half out; just a push and a half and it was all over. I lay and laughed while DH helped clean her up. No worry about IV, monitor, or anything else. DH got to catch and helped with the cord, etc. The doctor came by about a half hour later.
She is very cute; round head and face with double chin and long black hair.
8lbs 10oz, 20 inches long.
Gotta try to wake her up and nurse again; she did once right away, but has been asleep most of the time since then.

Thank you!
We got in such a hurry to leave we forgot the camera. My mom brought the 35mm when she came up with the children, but didn't find the digital. So pics will have to wait til tomorrow.

I was glad to skip the induction. I had about given up on my chances of a natural birth, but God came through for me after all. :clap:
