EVENT: Baby #2's Arrival! DATE: Sunday, February 25, 2018 LOCATION: Los Angeles, CA RACE BEGAN: 4:30 PM, Friday, February 23, 2018 FINISH TIME: 42 hours, 15 minutes (approximately) Our second baby has finally arrived! We are a bit more than two weeks out, and it's been a flurry trying to take care of her needs along with the needs of our first child (whose birth story is here ). However, I wanted to get this written before too much time went by and I forget the details. Beware -- this is a long one! Background: This entire pregnancy , I was pretty obsessed with having a better birth experience than last time when I had an unexpected C-section. However, I also had the mindset that it could end the same way, which was part of what made it particularly hard last time because I really thought it would go smoothly and so the unexpected surgery threw me for a loop. Not to mention, I still cannot remember much of the day my son was born from all the drugs and naus
