psychic Sophie and I were ...

Oohhh tough one since you have one of each. I'll say another boy.
Really! That's what my hunch is! I guess that settles it. :-)

WRONG!

I am thrilled to announce the birth of my new daughter Lilah. (DH and
I have not finalized her middle names yet.)

She was born at home last night at 1:12am (9/8/04), 8 pounds even,
19.5 inches long, APGARs of 10 and 10!

The short version of the birth story:
My midwife stripped my membranes for the fourth time (oy) the
afternoon of the 7th. I took black and blue cohosh. Labor started
(again) at around 3:30 or 4pm. Hubby came home and the midwives came
over. A friend came over to watch the two older kids.
Labor was not that hard to deal with, but I wasn't (as it turned out)
dilating. The kids went to bed. Hours passed. I went upstairs to
try to rest and our friend went home. I spent a couple of hours
zoning out between contractions and listening to DH snore. During
contractions I would dream of an epidural and a c-section.
Suddenly my water broke, I was in excrutiating pain, I wanted to take
a shower and I was miserable beyond imagining. I got in the shower
and a few moments later started to push. After a few very intense
moments, she was born. I got to cut her cord myself and check her
parts. I was surprised enough to discover that she was a girl that I
rechecked again a few minutes later. ;-)
We should have realized when I got all freaked out and incoherent and
crazy that I was in transition, but I was too far gone to think,
myself.

She's gorgeous!
