Julianna Marie, born December 7, 2007
Introducing our daughter, Julianna Marie:
Born at 12:33 PM on December 7, 2007 via c-section.
Weight: 10 pounds, 4 ounces
Height: 21.5 inches
We returned home from the hospital on Tuesday. We’re all doing well … very, VERY sleep deprived – mostly because we can’t stop marveling at our darling little daughter. I’ll post more details later.
Andrew, Julianna and me in the operating room minutes after her birth:

OMG CONGRATULATIONS!!! She is absolutely GORGEOUS! Sounds like you are doing well… let us know what the c-section was like (was it as bad as we all thought?). But boy, ten pounds? She’s heavier than Máire who is already a month old! Also, I love the hair.
You look a heck of a lot better than I did!
I know what you mean about sleep deprivation… Máire hasn’t been sleeping through the night very well. At least we have a good network of new moms to commiserate with.
In solidarity!
Beautiful — congrats!

Congratulations on the birth of your beautiful girl! I had figured that the long radio silence meant as much, but it’s lovely to have confirmation!
Congrats! I have been wondering about you guys. I kept waiting for a post. lol She is very pretty, I love her name too!!!! Glad you are home now.
Wonderful, wonderful! Congratulations on her birth! You all look radiant in the operating room picture! Enjoy her! Don’t forget to smell the top of her sweet head, sometimes you can still smell Heaven
P.S. What gorgeous hair she has too!

Congratulations, Jenny! We did it! I had my little girl on the 10th. I love that picture–it’s not easy photographing newborns, but you did a great job w/ that shot! She’s so beautiful! Congrats!

So funny…the hillsdale house blog in your blog role is a mile from our neighborhood!
Hi Jennifer,
I came across your blog as I was researching “induction or c section” because I am faced with a very similar situation. Although I don’t think my baby is as big as Julianna, but he is getting heavier by the day. I too have a very very low Bishop score and the doc has already warned me that if the baby still doesn’t drop when we do the induction, the chance of having a successful induction will be low. So we are thinking: screw the birth plan(I planned to a vaginal birth with no epidural!) let’s just cut him out! I am glad that I read your blog and it gave me more confidence in going ahead with the c-section directly.
