Introducing Sofia Teresa. 7lbs 7oz and 19.5 inches long. Born May 21st at 9:42 am after 10 hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing and born without any drugs. My contractions started at 11:45 the night before 2-3 minutes apart and continued to be that close together which I was not expecting at all!! I was so proud of myself and so lucky to have the support I had! She is perfect and we are in love!!!
Grace Lynn arrived at 1:17 in the afternoon on 5/22 via RCS, weighing 9 lbs 9 oz and measuring 21.5 inches long. We also evicted her unwanted roommate, an 8 cm ovarian mass, which will be biopsied later in the week.

So I went in for my induction at 5:30 am on Monday May 19. I', contracting on my own and dilated at 2cm. I get to a 4 by noon with intense contractions starting at 11am,
Then I ask for the epidural at noon, I could hardly breath during the contractions but the baby's bellyheart rate monitor and the contraction monitor were not doing a very good job. They weren't reading crap due to the baby moving nonstop and me shifting positions so much because I'm uncomfortable. My water breaks at about 12pm noon. I get checked again around 1pm, same progress. They then decide to put in internal monitors, finally. I don't get the epidural until 2:30pm. It didn't hurt as bad as the contractions and it worked well. I felt NOTHING but slight pressure after about 10 mins :heaven
So I get checked at 3:30pm, baby is high, same progress. The same thing at 4:30pm. Doctor pushes c-section because I have an "inadequate pelvis". Grr, I was sooo mad, I wanted to try for natural but he wouldn't let me.
Well, I went in for my Cesarean at 5:45, baby Lorcan is out at 6:12pm weighing 7lbs 11oz and 19 3/4 in long. Perfectly healthy! I'm in recovery by 7pm.
Team green turned team pink! Edith May came on her due date 5/20 at 2:53pm. 7#13oz 20.5 inches long. Vaginal delivery with no pain meds at a birthing center! We are home and doing well. Will try to post a pic later.
Lucas William was born on May 22 at 39 weeks via induction. I was in labor for about 10.5 hours total, and he was born vaginally at 1:34pm. He weighed 9 pounds and 9 ounces (we were shocked he was so big), and was 21.5 inches long. Recovery is going well and DS1 is absolutely obsessed with his new baby brother.
Landon Michael was born 5/24/13 his due date at 5:22am. Birth was an aggressive vaginal delivery. Labor for 10-11 hrs, 3 pushes he was out! I have fallen in love all over again.
Cecilia Marie was born at 3:31 AM on May 18 at 39+2 weeks. She weighed 6 lbs 12 oz and was 19 1/2 in long.

Her daddy and I waited 9 months for our honeymoon souvenir to arrive and we couldn't be more in love!
