TWYLA CHRISTINE DALLMAN
Born at 9:15 AM, CST, this morning, right on her due date. 7 lbs, 1 oz. 19.25 inches long. Mom and baby are doing awesome, and the three of us are spending a free night in the hospital and will be home tomorrow morning. Grandpas and grandmas visited today for a couple hours. Twyla is beautiful, very healthy, and took to Hannah's breast right away (as well as my pinkie finger). Hannah was a superhero throughout. Together we labored all night (haven't slept yet), then the doulas came over at 4 am for the most difficult stage of labor. Then at 7 am we went to the hospital, where we found out that Hannah was already at 10 cm and ready to push. 2.5 hours later, and after some sort of wonderwomen strength called from somewhere really deep, she pushed out our little girl, with the masterful help and coaching of our beloved midwife, Martha. No drugs whatsoever, no procedures except a couple sutures to mend a couple natural tears. So Hannah's gonna have a sore bottom but she'll be fine. We are both so proud, so overwhelmed, so turned on, so humbled, and so grateful for our little Twyla. Or in a single word, wow.
