Okay so a lot of my friends have blogs and I have always thought "what a great idea" but have never followed through. Now I am going to start.
Well for those of you who don't know Renato and I had our daughter on November 20, 2008. Since I was past my due date (she just was too comfy :)) Dr. Brody said we needed to induce. He also told me before we picked the day that I had a good chance of a c-section because my pelvic bone was extremely small. I told him I wanted to do everything I could to have a vaginal delivery. Well, we got up at 3 am....made it to the hospital at 4.....and began the induction at 4:30. Little did I know I had already started contracting and was already in labor :) After 14 hours I was finally ready to push. Dr. Brody came and we got to work. Well after 2 hours she would not come. We did find out pretty fast that we would have to invest in some hair bows :) Since she continued to be difficult (she is a Mizutani!) I ended up having a c-section. Atleast the next babe will come out on time I guess.
Life with a baby is fabulous!!!!! Renato is a great daddy and has helped a lot. I thought I would instantly be in love with Lydia when she was born. I did love her and wanted to do everything I could for her but I was not "in love" with her. After a few weeks at home my bond with her grew and grew. At first I felt guilty for not feeling bonded with her the day she was born. Now she is an essential part of my life. My heart is bursting with love and I am totally in love with her.
Well I will post some pictures and begin updating on a regular basis. I am a nerd and enjoy the computer :) Now it is off to work on our taxes and see how much we owe Uncle SAM :(

Yay! I'm glad you have a blog!
I felt the same way when all 3 of mine were born....I loved them, but didn't feel the bond I thought I was supposed to feel. Like you, it grew and grew, and soon I couldn't remember life without them.
What a wonderful family you have!
Love it that you finally started blogging! Make sure you keep it up and I will be one of your dedicated readers!
Love the pic! It's great. I agree about the whole newborn thing...I didn't feel like Olivia was really mine for a while. But then those mommy hormomes kick in and you know they are yours!!
