Emma came today (updated)

I had a crazy 5 hour labor. She came on her due date. I am still having a hard time believing it's real. My parents got to the hospital right before I pushed her out. My dad was able to relieve DH, so he and my mom could support me through the delivery. I nearly jumped out of the bed. I didn't want to push AT ALL. I didn't have time to even think much after I got here. I was already 6 cm dilated. I progressed to fully dilated in less than an hour and after my midwife broke my water, pushed her out within about half an hour or so.
Update:
Emma had to stay in the NICU for a day and a half before they were able to transfer her into our room. She had fluid in her lungs that wasn't squeezed out during the crazy fast delivery. She improved really quickly on her 2nd day out of the womb and passed all her tests. We were released together this morning day 3 (2 days old). We're all 4 of us at home, resting, feeding, changing. Repeating over and over again. My breasts are engorged, and I'm not able to sleep as much as I want yet, especially using free time to update the internet. Silly me. It's my outlet, though, so don't judge. LOVE you all.
Baby dust!!!
