I am so happy to finally be posting on this, I am proud to announce the birth of my little girl Sarah Nicole on July 22nd at 3:36pm. I was induced with pitocin and after only 4.5hrs of labor and 4 big pushes this 8lb 13oz girl came into this world and we are all in awe over her
Soining you ladies officially. After being sectioned for reverSe flow and low fluid at 34 weeks 6 days suspecting iugr little Logan was born 7/22 @1029 pm. He shocked us at 2 lbs 15 oz which was around his estimated weight weeks earlier and we had been told almost 2 weeks ago he was around 3 lbs 10 oz. He is doing great on room air and no major issues besides those related to his size.
Sloane Marie was born yesterday at 40w6d right at noon on the dot, 6lb 13.5oz + 20 inches. I had my first med-free labor and had her in the water at a birth center. I went through transition in under an hour, ending with my water breaking right at the end and her immediately coming out within the minute after. When she came out the umbilical cord broke which was scary at first, but the midwives clamped each side off and we were totally fine! It definitely goes down as the most intense experience of my life so far...
Katherine Anne was born 7/20 at 6:45pm. She weighed 6lbs 4oz and was 19 inches. She had some complications and an extended hospital stay.

Congratulations Mommas and good luck to those with impending bundles of joy. Birth Story

Logan Joe was born 7/24 at 5:30am. 8 lbs 11 oz, 21 1/2" long of perfection. His labor went extremely fast especially compared to his two older brothers. Was actually kind of fun this time around! Birth story to come and will edit with link.
Bennett Hugh was born on July 21 at 8:45am (39w2d). He was 20.5 inches and a whopping 8lbs 14oz (DD was only 7lbs 6oz). I had a RCS scheduled for 8am on Monday morning and we had to check in at 5am (yuck). I had been having BH contractions for weeks, but on the way to the hospital they became pretty painful. When we got there I checked in, we went up to labor and delivery and the nurse hooked me up to monitors and an IV. The painful contractions were getting more intense and according to the monitors I was having them between 2 and 6 minutes apart. We continued with all of the intake and pre-op stuff, met with the anesthesiologist and my doctor and then at 8am made our way to the OR. Once there the anesthesiolost started my spinal and as soon as he was done I felt a huge gush; my water broke on its own just minutes before surgery. I guess he was going to be born on Monday one way or another! There was meconium in my amniotic fluid so they brought in a special team and then we got started! The surgery was quick, about 15 minutes or so after the doctor started Bennett was born! They showed him to us over the curtain and then he was taken off to the side to make sure there were no issues with the meconium (there were none), wrapped him up and handed him to H. He held him at my head so I could give him kisses and the anesthesiologist offered to take some pictures for us. Both Bennett and I are doing great, recovery is going well, we are home now and Audrey is loving her baby!
Matthew David was born at 7/24/14 at 7:27am weighing 7lb 15hrs. We went in for induction on 7/22 and after cervidil and cytotec failed to make progress were sent home 24 hrs later. 5 hrs after getting home the contractions were getting serious so we headed back and were at 6cm. Matthew was born 6 1/2 hrs later, 35 hrs after the start of the induction, but he is soooo worth it :-) Big brother and sister adore him.
Finally getting around to posting, it's been a busy few days! Gabriel Thomas was born July 23rd at 12:13 a.m. at 40+2 after a 19 hour labor that included 3 hours of pushing. He was 9 lb 12 oz and 22"in long. We are just smitten and so in love. He shares his birthday with his great grandpa and great grandma.

Hi guys! I've been MIA. Belated birth announcement of Jack Robert. He was born on July 3, 2014 at approximately 5:08 p.m. I was 37w5d, and quite surprised! I say "approximately" because labor came on hard and fast at about 4:00 on 7/3. I immediately had contractions that were 2 minutes apart and my body started pushing on its own on the third contraction. (I had previously had contractions earlier that day that were 10 minutes apart over the course of an hour. But otherwise, nothing). We rushed to the hospital but didn't make it. I delivered him in the front seat of my car in front of the ER doors at the closest hospital we could reach. My husband caught him. It was the most surreal and terrifying experience. We love our little guy though and big sister Abigail adores him too.
Harper Frances was born July 30 at 9:46 p.m. She was 7lbs 12 oz and 21 inches long. I was 40w1d. .She arrived via successful VBAC with an epi that was accidentally never hooked up! Luckily only 10 minutes of pushing and minor second degree tear. She is absolutely precious and big sister does not want to share! Full story to follow!
