Meghan is due September. I think she's due closer to the end of the month, she and Libby are due really close together as well, I think.
I'm working on my birth story for our #3. We just came home last night and I'm trying to play a little catch up AND spend some time with my Jacob and Daniel. ;)
But our little crazy baby came on Monday!
I started contracting Friday evening after having my membranes stripped around 11am... then I kept contracting all weekend with lots of frequent bloody show. Monday about 11am I was 3cm still and DH and I came home about noon, had lunch, then a little nooky and BOOM! I was in transition! It was crazy. We arrived at the hospital about 3:30, they checked us said a little past 4cm I cussed and demanded the paperwork get started for the epidural. About 20 minutes later my fore bag broke and there was a LOT of blood. They checked me again and I was 7cm. I told them not to leave the room. 2 contractions later I stood up from the pain and felt the baby coming down the birthing canal on it's own!!! My birthing coach called them in and I got on my back, they checked me and I was complete and the bag was still bulging. So they broke my waters saw what they thought was a little muconium and I was pushing. 2 pushes to crown completely and one final push and baby was out! I actually fell asleep mid pushing. It was very weird. I didn't pass out, but literally my body shut off.
Our little surprise ended up being a little girl!!!
Evelyn Janelle was born at 4:28pm weighing 7lbs even, 19.5 inches long and a 13.5 inch head. Perfectly round head, too cause she didn't spend much time in the birthing canal.
After I write all of the birth story out (there's a lot more details that aren't in this little bit) I will share it with you all.
wow what a great birth story! FAST! so you ended up without an epidural?Quote:

Congratulations on your little girl, Janelle! What a great birth story.
Our little boy, Cormac "Mac" Thomas was born on 8/25 at 2:08am. He weighed in at 7lbs 14oz and was 21" long with a 14.5" inch head (!).
