Labor was fairly easy. Of course I am a wimp and got the epidural, as I did with my first two babies as well. Hey I'm not trying to be a hero! Although with this one... I did have about an hour of hard contractions that brought me to tears before I got it done. But from start to finish my labor only lasted a little under 7 hours. Thank Goodness!
Here I am getting ready to push. Not in any pain but we had to wait for my Dr. to arrive, and for 15 long horrible minutes I had to resist the urge to push. So they put me on oxygen because the pressure was intense and I was having a hard time breathing and concentrating on NOT pushing!
But as soon as the Dr. arrived I was able to push. 15 minutes later, I was a Mommy again! Best feeling in the world!
Wow! My biggest baby. She weighed 7lbs 9oz. and was 19 inches long.
So how was labor my mom asked? There's my answer...
Here I am holding her for the first time. Definately an emotional moment. 
Then I FINALLY got to eat. My mom is the best!
And she got to bond with Daddy for the whole night while Mommy rested. My poor Hubby only got 1 hour of sleep because he was taking care of us. He's the best!
So meet Miss Arielle Marie-Grace!
Here she is bonding with her big brother! He's so proud of her already.
Here we are just waiting to be discharged so we could take her home!
Sweet Baby... Made With Love
Jr and I would just like to say Thanks to my Mom and Dad for coming down here to help us this weekend. Arielle was definately surrounded by love coming into this world. Mommy, thanks for everything you've done for us especially! You are Wonder Woman... and we can't say Thanks enough. We all love you!
Jr, Michelle, Diego, Alayna, and Arielle

Awwww, I had to take a couple of your pictures because the ones I took came out blurry. She looks beautiful. It was great for me to have all that bonding time with Alayna. Diego seems to be adapting to Arielle very fast. He is like the greatest brother these two girls can ask and wish for.
As usual I had to brag with my friends and here are some of their replies.
And here she is folks, grandbaby number seven, and I am not even 50
yet. lol
