Congratulations! And kudos to your husband for being there and being
coherent enough to deliver that baby. I do not know what my husband would
have done in a scenario such as that.
No tears? Short Labor? Honey you've got to put in a good word for me for the
future!!!! Of course right now I'm not looking to have another baby real
soon. I've got all I can handle at the moment!!!
Good luck with your new baby, she is just 2 days older than my Noah!!
