Congrats and very similar to our experience just last week with the exception of Sienna's head wasn't coming down, so she had to have a C-section and I wrote about the experience so you have a guy's point of view.
Great family shot of you guys and your daughter Miss Fable is cuteness.

It IS weird how you think the second will be just like the first, except - how can they be? They're a different person. Weird.

Congrats.

The pain-scale-34 photo is classic. It's a picture that says a thousand swear words.

And the rest: beautiful, just beautiful. Congrats again.

If you hadn't named her the perfection Fable -- she could have been infinity.

I love her. I love you. So happy for you all. Your happiness is seriously chewable here. Thanks for taking the time for us -- NOW BACK TO THE BLISS.

Love that doan fux with me pic!

Love it! She totally has your toes . . .

What a great birth story. And you are a machine. SEVEN??? I think I made it to six both times. I don't think it's coincidence that the second time around tends to be easier for most moms. I didn't have the vag damage I had the first time either, and Baby Pita (that's what I call her now) was born in just three pushes. Crowning, head out, then shoulders and the rest of her and she was out.

Fable is beautiful. And so is your family.

Beautiful, beautiful family, you are definitely blessed (love that name)! Your blog is absolutely my favorite, thank you for sharing your journey with us. Lately I just have to make sure I'm alone in the office or have tissues near by ;) Many many congratulations.

2008-10-15T09:21:00.000-07:00

Yep, here I am crying at work again...just awesome. What a stupendously lovely babe, and what lucky parents and big brother!

And how great is the name "Blessing"! Something to think about in case you ever have another little girl!

2008-10-15T08:43:00.000-07:00

Yay, I am so happy for you! Having That 2nd baby is such a special time.It's awesome too when you don't tear the 2nd time--you feel better soooo much faster! Hooray on the breastfeeding bit too! It is such an accomplishement and can be so wonderful if you can do it (I was finally able to with both of my children after much hardship, but I'm so glad now!!!) Congrats! Congrats! Congrats!

Beautiful.

am impressed that you stuck to your birth plan for so long and through so much pain. congrats again, beautiful birth story. the half worn off epidural sounds awful! (i have this symmetry thing)

2008-10-14T16:58:00.000-07:00

Thank you for sharing that! I have been 4 cm. since last week and assume that when I go in for my induction TOMORROW MORNING(!!!!!) that I will be 7 cm., do you mean to tell me I might not be?!?

I just wrote my daughter, Sage a letter telling her how much these past 3 years with her has meant to me. Like you did, I feel like I am in mourning for our time together, just mother and daughter. Reading your post has brightened me up a little to the excitement and possibility of tomorrow, to becoming a family of 4. Congratulations again!

2008-10-14T12:09:00.000-07:00

Great story and I'm so relieved your vagina was sliced. I've heard of women who had slicing into their rectum...but we don't go there.

Welcome, Fable, an adorable baby girl!

2008-10-14T11:38:00.000-07:00

Awesome. I'm excited about my second birth/third baby coming in April. Only I've already been informed that I don't get to do active labor. Too much damage from the first c-section and too much of a chance of hemorrage. I'm glad things went better for you. Best wishes for you and your little family.

So sweet! I am so happy for you and that you had ...

2008-10-14T11:37:00.000-07:00

So sweet! I am so happy for you and that you had a drama-free-didn't-wreck-your-vagina birth!

Your daughter is gorgeous and you look amazing as well!

I too went into labor saying, "No drugs! No drugs!...

2008-10-14T11:18:00.000-07:00

I too went into labor saying, "No drugs! No drugs!" I hadn't had time for an epidural when my daughter was born, so I figured that with my son, I knew what to expect and could handle it.

And then I realized, as I was facing 5 hours of bitch-slappin' labor through the night, that an epidural would be a much, much smarter move. Never mind that I had a resident anesthesiologist get me into position and then WAIT for the attending to come in and supervise: there I was, my head folded down by my knees, in ACTIVE LABOR for about 30 minutes. But no--the res said I was in the PERFECT position, and there was no way I was moving.

So so so so so so happy for you. I love super happy, relatively drama-free birth stories. Keep on enjoying every minute.

I'm so happy for you.

2008-10-14T10:48:00.000-07:00

I'm so happy for you.
