The short version of the very long labor story is that after a multi-day failed induction (cervadil, followed by a day on Pitocin, followed by a balloon to ripen my cervix, followed by another day on Pitocin), I had only dilated one centimeter.
Bailey was delivered via c-section at the end of all of that - much to the great relief of her very, very tired Momma and Mommy!
We are extraordinarily happy to be home and after a good long shower, some down time, a good night's rest and some adjustment time, I'll post the full story of our birth!
To hold you over, here are some pictures of our little honey...

WOW! She's SO cute!!! And no cone head since she wasn't being squeezed through a small opening :) Well done, girls!! A
Oh sooooo beautiful. She reminds me soooooooooooooooo much of Bliss at birth. I had the same thing, 4 days of labor with never dilating past 1cm and a c/s. I am glad you are all well.
She's so beautiful! I'm jealous of her chubbiness - Seth never got to fatten up and is too skinny. Her crop of hair is amazing!
Congratulations, Moms! And welcome to the world, Bailey. You are going to have a fantastic life! I'm so glad to hear that you are all well and home. Enjoy these first few days together as a new family. Bailey is simply adorable!

Hey Mikki and Kelly. It's official--your daughter is gorgeous! But you already knew that ;-) Enjoy the cool weather today (which we know you love Mikki) and give your little honey a kiss for us. -M&S
