Obviously as you can see she is the cutest thing in the world. I will type a full "birth story" soon, but for now I will say last night was the worst experience of my life highlighted by some of the most amazing moments I have ever been a part of. And I did it. I made it all the way with no medication, no iv, intermittent monitoring, and eating whatever I felt like (which happened to be one jello and two crackers, but hey.)
Total was about 10 hours labor, six in the hospital, but I'm giving those details later. Right now we're just oogling at what a beautiful baby I have!
Despite my best efforts she was born on February 20th and not the 19th. She made her debut at 12:30 am (it was still the 19th in California...). Weighing in at a hefty 8 lbs 10 oz. A full pound bigger than Matthias. I knew she'd be big. She has dark hair which will probably fall out soon. I have yet to see her eyes...she's an amazing sleeper.
Meeting her brothers was so much fun. I couldn't wait for the boys to come in and they were ecstatic! Matthias was especially SO happy. He kept saying, "Me big brother. Hannah." It was adorable! Then he would just shout her name over and over. "Hannah. Hannah! Hannah." They wanted to touch all of her and were so wonderful.

Horray! It is fun to get more details about her arrival. I think you are THE WOMAN for going natural. And Hannah is such an adorable, plump little girl! She looks so much like her big brothers.
