   Thanks everyone :) I'm actually home now.. decided one night of absolutely no sleep in the hospital was enough for me. While Kayla was having her first night exhaustion sleep, the other 2 babies in the room were on their 2nd and 3rd nights and much more vocal about being out! It's so comfortable being home and Alyssa has been a good girl and enjoying the new moving toy in the house.
 It was a pretty straight forward birth..Early labour started 3am Wednesday morning with lots of irregular contractions all day.. Down-to-business contractions started around 4pm, went to hospital at 6pm and pushed her out in 10 minutes at 7:30pm. Had also decided on no epidural this time which I almost regretted haha, but sucked back a tank and a half of gas instead so was glad I had something.. So yeah, thankful all went well and am glad she's here now! Will post pics when I have a chance.
