Thread: Jan 09 Snow Pea Siblings!

So since Joy and Janelle had their cute babes, does that make Libby next? then Sandra, then Ashly, then Ali, right? Am I missing anyone?

oops just remembered Meghan! I think she's due in Sept too?

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.

Hahahah!!!! Excruciating!

There was NO time for more than half a dose of fentanyl and all that did was let me relax a little for the 10 seconds in between contractions.

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 (!).

I had an awesome birth. Here's a link to my birth story on our family blog:

Love all these new babes and their birth stories!

Joy, I have been wanting to tell you how CUTE Mac looks in your siggy pic!!!!!! I think he is the most darling baby ever!!!!!!!!

This week I am 31 weeks I have another U/S booked for this Wednesday because my OB wants to see how big baby is. I know I am cooking another big one (remember Eli was 9 lbs 7 oz) and I am already measuring 4 weeks ahead. Looks like I am in for another 10 lb baby!

Here is a belly picture from today:

I just love your belly Sandra, it is so DANG cute! You look great! I feel so bad for you though for another BIG baby! You are so teeny I can't even imagine the pains you are having!
