Isabelle Lynn was born at 446 am on 7/16. She is 5 lbs 5 oz and 19 inches. After an unintentional natural birth in which we went from a 2 to pushing in 1 hour, we are doing great!
Liam Stuart Cameron R. entered the world via VBAC (woo hoo!!) with 2.5 hours of pushing on July 10th at 23:06 EST (39w5d). He was 8.0lbs and 20" and we are completely in love with the latest and last addition to our little family. Birth story to follow when I have a chance to write it out.
Lucas Walter came via a vbac at 5:26 on 7/17 8 pounds 7 ounces 20 and a half inches long. Made no progress after and hour and a half pushing for him to come all out in one big push. Aside from my 4 th degree tear mommy and baby are doing fine. Picture you come because I am on mobile
Two ultrasounds and we were told we were having a girl. We have pink everything. Lyric Robert Grant arrived on 7/17/2014 at 10:54 am weighing 9 lb 2 oz. I was induced Monday. Tues no progress. Wed pm my water broke at 2 cm. Round 1 am I was in horrible pain. Contractions every 3 min and I was 9 cm . Dr said no time for an epi & I had to do it natural. After an hour of nothing they let me have one. That was placed wrong andwe learned llater that I was not getting any releif. 7 am came around and I had closed to 6 cm but still having strong contractions for a min or so every 3 mins. I begged my Dr for a c section. That's when they discovered my epi was not working due to being wrongly inserted. Once I got the block the world was good. Labor became beautiful. however it was a huge shock being told our boy was healthy after being told a girl at 2 different ultrasounds. So Lyric will need to deal with some pink until we cantrade in EVERYTHING we have. He is so handsome. We are so blessed to have our perfect baby.
Kristan James finally made his debut on July 18 at 9:36 pm after almost 20 hrs of labor. He was 6 days past due but he is absolute perfection weighing 8lbs 5oz and measuring 20.5 in. Will post longer birth store after swelling in my left hand goes down.
Carter Andrew made his debut an hour before his due date on July 13th. He was 7lbs 6 oz and 19 inches long. Consensus is that he looks like his Daddy :-)
Amelia Claire was born 7/19 via induction at 41 weeks at 4:51 am weighing in at 7lbs 1oz, 20 inches long, and has such a set of lungs on her, they said she should have earned a bonus point on the apgar test for it! We are absolutely in love with her!
Benjamin Matthew, born 7/19 (39w 2d) at 12:17pm after 12 hours of labor, 6 hours of pitocin, and no epidural. 6lbs 12oz, and 19.25 inches long. Birth story and photos to come!
I've hesitated to post so many times because it wasn't the announcement I wanted but my rockstar was born July 12th. 6lbs 3 oz, 19in long. She's a week old now and been through 2 surgeries already. Here is a pic prior to finding out she was sick ....
Well I've been gone for a few months because of my business but baby is here now and I'm back! I've been lurking and following all of your birth stories and I'm super excited to be back and able to participate again!!
Anyways! Adlee Grace was born 7/12 at 6:23pm at 38w5d after an induction due to pre-e. She was 6lbs15oz and 18.5" long. Has a teeny bit of jaundice but we are sticking with breast feeding and doing really well!

Team green went blue when my water broke at exactly 9 PM the night before my scheduled 7:30 am c-section! We went in, I spent a long night contracting on meds to slow the progression, to deliver a healthy, beautiful baby boy. Michael Francis (the 3rd!) came in at 8 lbs 13 oz (I laugh now at their 11 lb estimate, although I apparently had more fluid than they had ever seen), and 21". He's gorgeous and we're absolutely head over heels. Looks like his daddy, too. ;-)
Emma Noelle was born on 7/20 (her due date) after being induced due to possible pre-e. Pitocin was started at 6:30 pm and she arrived at 6:48 am the next day after 2 pushes. She weighed 8 lbs 4 oz and 20 inches. She latches well but seems a bit fussy staying latched and sucking. So we are working on things. She's our little sweetheart!
Team green turned pink July 14 (day after due date). Edythe Rae (Edie) was born 9lbs 4oz, 22" long, with a giant head. About 12 hours of med-free labor, 2 hours of pushing (I'll say it again... giant head) She's beautiful and squishy. My heart is going to explode.
Introducing Samantha Hope, born Monday, July 21, 2014 at 12:25pm via C-section (due to severely prolapsed hemorrhoid for which I was hospitalized since Friday). She is 7lbs 5oz, 19.5 inches & absolutely precious. Sammi is perfectly healthy & I am feeling much better, though I still have some recovery time ahead. We are so in love with our squishy!
So grateful to announce the birth of baby girl Genesis!! She weighed in at 7lbs 7oz on July 21, 2014 (yesterday) @ 6:51 p.m. Via vaginal delivery (natural)!! No need for a birth story...she came without the doctor being present in only 3hrs!!! Yikes!! [-O< 39+1!!
Drew Benjamin born 7/21 weighing 7 lbs 8 oz 21 inches with zero pain meds (when I was totally planning on getting an epidural as I did with my first).. Long story and still not sure how I feel about going through it non-medicated, but after a couple very rough hours and 5 minutes of pushing, he was here, healhy and beautiful. Not sure how to attach a pic but story to follow!
