So basically you only gained the weight of your baby... :-) And did I mention how jealous I am of your labor? I don't know that you can be done with just 2 kids, it's like your body was made to get babies out as efficiently as possible (JEALOUSY from China... ;-) Can't wait to meet her!

Whoa, well done. That's pretty much what I call a drive thru delivery. I guess Ada was listening when you said you wouldn't be having the baby so soon...she must have said "I'll show you mama."
