Marabelle June Lippold was born yesterday May 27, 2009 at 3:08 a.m. She weighed 11lb 1 oz and was 22inches long with a 14 inch head. Labor was quick and natural. See my "Photos" section for comparison to Lily, they look like twins.

I will post a birth story shortly. Quickly, I went into labor at 10:30 p.m. By 12, we called our doula and sitter. At 1, they arrived. At 2, we left for the hospital. I had got to the hospital and was checked in at a 5. Three contractions later I was pushing. Two pushes later, she was born. The labor was very "easy" on by body, but very intense. At the end, the nurses were yelling at me to sit down, but I just couldn't. After all, a bowling ball was falling through me. I am thankful everything turned about so well. Baby is nursing and sleeping great! I have had a great experience so far. We came home a day early and are very comfortable.
