I'm presently no mail but wanted to let you all know I gave birth last
Thursday to a beautiful girl.  Her name is Christina Nicole-she weighed 8
pounds 3 ounces and was twenty inches long.  We're both doing well.  I'll
fill in more details later when I've recovered more but have to say that
having health care providers that honor your wishes makes all the
difference in the world when it comes to your birth experience.  Each of my
three births have had their unique challenges (this one being 9 cm for 3
1/2 hours) and having the right people with me to support me made all the
difference in the world!
