Charles ("Charlie") Kennedy born on 7/31 (41w+5d) at 6:53 pm into my arms in the tub following a 50-hour induced labor and 3 hours of pushing. My water never broke and he was born "en caul." He is amazing.
Ruby Kay was born on 8/1 at 5:39. 8 lbs 11 oz at 40w5d. Water broke and started Pit at 3 pm. Short and fucking intense labor with no pain meds. 3 pushes and she was out!
Baby J was born July 29h at 40+3. I got my vbac! Wha t an incredible experience. Med free fast labor. 1.5hours of pushing. 3d degree tear, but this was the birth I needed to heal emotional scars after my first. Recovery is slow, but I'm just taking it easy and smuggling this little guy. Thanks for the support ladies.
Ava Grace born August 2nd at 40+5. She was just over 8 lbs and 22inches long. We realized she was hungry today when she put her whole mouth on DHs nose. So I guess you could say she is interested in breast feeding. These FT parents have a lot to learn and we are lucky we have such a cutie to learn with.
After being threatened with eviction at my appointment on Tuesday, my little guy made his quick arrival on Wednesday morning (40w5d) about 30 minutes after we got to the hospital. He's sweet and mellow and about the total opposite of how his big brother was as a newborn which has made the adjustment a bit easier for all of us.
Ian William born via scheduled c section on July 24. 10 lbs and 21 1/4 inches. We had a rough start but we are all home and healthy. We are so in love, big sister and big brother are also adjusting well!
Addison Marie arrived August 5th at 4:52pm 5 days passed her due date! She weighed in at 6lbs 14oz and is 21in 4cm long! We are both doing well and can't wait to get her home tomorrow!!!
Team Green turns Pink! Camille Fiona was born this morning at 5:44am, 10 days past her due date. She weighed 7 lbs, 13 oz and measured 21 inches long. It was a long induction but she's so worth it! We are completely smitten with our little girl!
Leonardo Alexander was born on 7/28 at 12:52 P.M He weighed 8.11 & at 21 inches. (No wonder my back was killing me) 2nd degree tear (again), but healing well. We couldn't be more excited. Leonardo has three older sisters to always love and protect him. He's strong, loud, he's about to put me in for a wild ride with his closest sibling just turning one on 8/7. They will always have a special bond.
Nora Josephine arrived 8/5 @ 41&1, after 36 hours of prodromal labor and the decision to finally get an epidural and pitocin (a total labor of over 50 hours). Almost 2 hours of pushing this gigantic baby out (9 lbs 1oz!) but only a small 1st degree tear with no stitches needed (thank you midwives!). We are currently exhausted, but so in love.
A little late but my Ellie Grace was born 7/8/14 9:04 pm 7lbs 4oz. The best thing that has ever happened to us!!! Birth photo and 1 month birthday photos!!! She is my little beauty!!
I am so late posting! Lola Maria made her debut Saturday August 2nd at 2:44 pm at 8 lbs 13 Oz 21 inches long. She had to have some help with forceps and gave us quite a scare as she wasn't breathing at birth. She spent some days in the NICU and recovered beautifully. We are home safe and sound loving on our beautiful girl!
Blake Owen was born 39+2 on July 10 at 12:03 pm via RCS. 7 lbs 14 oz and 20 1/4 inches. Everything went beautifully! Big brother is just as in love with him as we are!!

Super, super late posting! Madelyn Kate (Madi Kate) was born on her due date, July 10, at 7:22 PM. She weighed 7 lbs and was 19" long. Went for an induced VBAC with the foley balloon and Pitocin at 5 AM and opted for a c-section at 5:30 that afternoon. Her big brother is head over heels crazy in love with his little sister, as are we!
love all these beautiful birth stories! best wishes to all these beautiful babies!
i know i am way late to this but i wanted to share :-)
Wesley Aiden was born July 27th, at 42weeks and 1day, 6lbs 19inches. we were induced because he was just not interested in coming out at all. He actually lost weight while in there and the placenta was not supporting him as well. It was 32hrs of labor, and at 11:54pm that Sunday, my little boy came out screaming and looking for the boob :-) by far it was the most amazing moment of my life, i can only imagine standing at the top of Everest would feel the same. He was just 4hrs old in this picture :-)
Micah John born 7/29/14 9 lbs 1.2 oz 20 inches.... Induced at 0830 had baby at 1707... Induced w pitocin but had natural labor no pain meds & only pushed 25 mins!!! Over all awesome experience.
