Skylar Marie was born at 5:50 this morning after 26 hours of labor, weighing 9 lbs 2 oz. I had planned on a natural birth but ended up getting an epidural after 17 hours of back labor, and subsequently some pitocin. She's being observed in the nicu right now due to some difficulty breathing and because of the length of time between my water breaking and her birth, but she seems to be doing well and they expect to move her into my room and let me breastfeed later this morning.
