doot doo dee DOOOOOO!
Announcing: [info]liya_rowan! (and her first extra-utero lj post!)

Weighing in at 7lbs, 10 oz, after only a lighting-fast 2.5 hour labor, she flashed into this world so quick we barely had time to think straight. No "dad sitting around looking useless and worried and just waiting forever", no "breathe, conserve your strength, this will take a while". Nope, it was more like, "Hi, [info]amberphlame, let me check your cervix and see how far along you are, now that I've finally gotten to your house" ... "ok, looks like you're *fully dilated*, the baby's coming... oh, RIGHT NOW!".

If I ever doubted the efficacy of labor-inducing acupuncture, I was wrong. [info]amberphlame was only 1 cm dilated wednesday, and Liya was already 3 days overdue, but then 10 hours after getting acupuncture to help speed things along, *wham*, baby's here!

Pictures will be forthcoming, of course, but for now, a certain hard-working mom needs some breakfast.

Huge Congratulations! I am so excited for you and your family.

That is the quickest labor I have ever heard of. If I ever have another one I'm definitely getting the acupuncture.

Well done, daddy-o!

So this means what--4 or 5 years till Liam has another player character in his D&D campaign?
