A labor tale in Twitter

A debut of the first twitter story in here. @babysteph of AdventuresInBabywearing.com twitted her entire labor minus the delivery pushing part of course, and boy did we wait for her news on the end. Amidst the rain and flood here in the midwest, her baby Ivy is finally here. Happy Birthday Ivy! Congrats to Steph, husband, and 3 big brothers!

Follow thru her tweets below:
