Oh, well...can't rotate the picture, but at least you can see...here I am, mere hours from giving birth. You can't see it, but I am in MUCHO pain here. This is what you would call a "forced smile." I had an epidural after about 20 hours of labor. All in all, the labor lasted about 31 hours, from the beginning of the hospital stay to the end. OH...and to backstep a bit...I gave birth to Mina a month early. My water broke on the morning (EARLY morning) of the 12th of June.
