I know I kinda fell off the bump during this pregnancy. I hate it on the phone. My March 4th baby became a Feb 23rd baby. I would like to announce Eliana Ruth 6 lbs 9 oz 19 inches long. Born a week and 4 days early. I was 4 cm dilated and having contractions 8 mins apart but my dr was worried if I waited too long I'd have baby in the car so we went to hospital where the contractions stopped which is what happened with my first. Well now it was pitocin time. Long painful story short since I refused epidural they broke my water at like 130 am and then my contractions got insanely strong and the doctor didn't even make it back in to catch the baby I pushed her out as everyone was yelling at me to stop while I was laying on my right side. I didn't really feel like I was pushing at all. 2nd degree tear of course because I turned my vagina into a propulsion machine.

My March baby also decided he wanted to be a February baby instead! Thunder was born at 36wks3days (5lbs, 8oz) because my water was leaking. I went in to get checked for "peace of mind" but it turned into an "oh this is happening now" situation. He was born via c-section on February 21st and we are now both home and doing well 💙

@princessjenney, I did not see the name first, but it is lovely! I hope I can pick a name that is so powerful like that! Thunder is a wonderful name and I hope God blesses you and your family, plus baby Thunder.

Well, our sweet baby is here! I was having contractions in the middle of the night, then my water broke, the girls grandma got there around 1:45 am, and we left! We got to the hospital around 2:15, and I was dilated to an 8! Our sweet baby was born at 4:33 am, on 2/28/21. As most of you know, we decided not to know the gender, and for a little backstory, we have three daughters, two with us, and one watching over us. Baby Boy took 12 pushes to come, but he is here, happy and healthy!! Parker is thrilled to have a baby boy as am I! Of course I am exhausted from pushing him out, but it was so so worth it. Presenting Our First Son, and fourth baby. We Love You Baby C!!

Holly Simone born March 1, 7 pounds 1 ounce, 19 and 1/4 inches. 46 hours of labor and an unplanned c-section later... I spent Saturday evening and all day Sunday laboring at home to only get 1cm and 80% effaced. Sunday night we checked in for therapeutic rest (morphine drop to allow for sleep so I could revive a bit). Woke up Monday at 3cm and started pitocin. Epidural at 9. By 5 pm only 6cm. I developed a fever from infection at that point and by 6 she was in distress so we followed recommendations to do a C-section. Holly is still in the NICU recovering from a mild case of metabolic acidosis. I'm still recovering from the surgery due to low blood pressure. I finally got to hold my baby today around 3pm today and went back around 7 for more cuddles. Been pumping when I can.

My tiny girl was born on 2.12.21 weighing just 2lbs 3oz. I had gone to another appointment the day before and we found that her growth was still getting slower so my doctors decided it was time to deliver the following day. I was 34w5d. She arrived via c-section and has been the sweetest most content baby. She’s been in the NICU since she was born and we were moved to a children’s hospital a couple hours from home because of their higher level NICU, so my husband and I have been staying out here to be near her. She’s doing really well, but does have a few things going on that we’ll deal with as we need to. Our main thing is get her weight up so she can finally come home with us. ❤️

redselig

@annanbby aww, she’s so lovely. I remember your story. I hope she gets to come home with you soon. ❤️

sunny_native14

@annanbby congratulations on your precious baby girl! Sending you tons of positive thoughts and hoping you can get your sweet baby home soon. Thanks for updating us. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Team green turned team blue on 3/9! I labored unmedicated, but ended up needing a last minute c-section as my little chunk was stuck in my pelvis. Introducing Theodore:

Baby Girl # 2 born on 03/21

A surprising 9lbs 20 inches, born sunny side up! OW! Lol 

My water broke early AM and my body had trouble getting contractions consistent so we eventually opted for Pitocin to help get things going. Once contractions began to get super intense and consistent I opted for an epidural but I had them keep it low so that when it came time to push I could still have control. It basically just took the edge off enough to get me to transition so I felt everything when the time came. Pushed for about an hour and we were all shocked at her size and I am so thankful they didn’t tell me she was face up because that would have definitely discouraged me. I’m really grateful for my L&D team and my husband for coaching me through! We are so incredibly in love with our Rainbow Baby ❤️

Baby Damian, 03/22. Felt a pop in the womb followed by a gush. Checked into the hospital at 3:30 and contractions came fast. Was fully dilated at 10:30 but baby wasn’t making his way down. The doctor said if the ventouse doesn’t work he would have to do an emergency c-section. I harnessed the power of the vagina propulsion machine despite it being weakened by the epidural. We are dealing with some jaundice but apart from that, all is well.

so cute... lots of love
