Eli Christian was born at 3:37pm on May 29th after a rough 22 hour labor. He weighed in at 6lbs 1oz and measuring 18.5 inches long. Fetal distress due to cord being wrapped around twice almost landed us in a c section but luckily we were able to avoid that avoid that.

Olivia May was born at 12:44AM on June 1 at 39w6d! She gave me a very easy time, I was 4cm dilated upon arrival at the hospital at 430, after an hour of walking was up to 7cm, and then I got an epidural. I ended up pushing for less than an hour with very little tearing! Olivia is 8lb3oz and 20in long, and it looks like she'll have strawberry blonde hair like Mommy! We are so happy to have such a beautiful, healthy little baby!
Marina Joy joined the world this morning at 5lbs 10 oz and 39 weeks. I started having contractions around 2/3 am. They were around 12 minutes apart until 5:30. By 7:30 they were at 7 min and I called the doctor. She sent me to labor and delivery where I was already 5 cm. I asked for an epidural and had it within about an hour...but, by the time it was in and running I was fully dilated and ready to go. After about 20 minutes of pushing she was here. DH was going to cut the cord but she had a right nuchal so the doc did it instead. We are both resting and doing great!
Elliott Alexander Blaine was born on May 25th, 2015 @ 38 weeks and 4 days . He was 8 lbs 1 oz & 19 inches.
I went in Sunday (05/24) for Extreme back pain that was making me sick , ended up needing morphine to help ease the pain and they decided it was best for Mom & Baby to induce the following day. its a good thing because I went from 5 cm - he's here in 45 mins.
All is well we are home and adjusting amazingly well to a family of 7
Norah Daniella born at 3:00pm on 6/1/15 at 38wks. 7 lbs 10 oz 19 inches long. 5 hours of labor and one push for her to get here! Nursing like a champ! So very much in love!!!
After my water breaking at 8:45am we made our way to the hospital at 12:00pm, I finally dilated enough at 9:00pm and started pushing at 11:00pm. Vella Helen braced us with her presence on June 1st at 12:46am. She weighed in at 8lbs 11oz. She is the light of our lives and just perfect. I didn't know you could love like this.
After a pretty long labor, LO was born June 2, 2015 at 6:28am. He's 7lbs 8oz. He hasn't had his first bath yet so we're still waiting to find out his length. He's so perfect & he barely cries. He's also nursing like a champ!! I'm so in love :x
Baby R was born 5/30 at 9:28 am at 39w 5 d. 8lb 1oz, healthy as can be. No medical interventions used, had two weeks of prelabor contractions, on 5/29 had a check up at 10am was 1cm 60% effaced, Dr. said check could get things going but did not strip membranes, 5:30 pm started having mild but timetable contractions, 8:30pm heard and felt a "pop" my water started leaking and contractions picked up. Went to the hospital at 11pm was dilated to 3cm and started pushing at 7: 30am. Tore naturally and yes I pooped a ton, but it helped me push She is amazing and worth every minute of labor!! So in love!! Hope my story helps any mamas who are anxiously awaiting their babies!!
Everett Ray born 5/31 at home at 37 weeks 1 day. Water broke first but midwife gave me time to start contractions. Making out works if you are about ready to go 6lbs 4 oz. 20.5 inches. He is absolutely fabulous and we love him so much!
At 5:36PM we welcomed Cora Elizabeth! She is 7lb5oz, 20.25inches and was born at 39w1d after a very effective membrane sweep. It was a rough ride down for both of us but we are happy, and healthy!
Aubrey Judith-Ann born May 30 4:10am 6.2lbs 19.5 inches long induced at 37.3 due to hypertension and gestational diabetes. Was a rough go ending in emergency c section but we are doing well.
We welcomed Addison Rae early this am at 2:23 after 12 hours of induced labor at 36 weeks and only 30 minutes of pushing. She's weighing in at 4lbs 11oz but doing great! Doesn't have to be nicu which is amazing. She started breastfeeding like a champ right away. So in love!
Eric Joseph "EJ" arrived after 14 hours of labor on Monday, June 1st, 2015. He was 8 lbs 1 oz, 20.5" long with a lot of hair!
My water broke at home on Sunday afternoon around 1pm. No contractions so we hung out at home. Around 5pm, I started getting a crampy feeling so we headed to the hospital. In the 45 minute communute, cramps turned into contractions about 6-8 minutes apart. Triage checked me and I was about 4 cm's at 7pm. As soon as they checked me, my contractions started coming about 2-3 minutes apart. Around 10 pm, I was put in a room and anesthesia met us there, epidural was placed and at 1030 pm, I checked in at 6 cm's! I labored for awhile until about 230am, and at that check I was 9.5 cms. I was comfortable so they let me labor a bit longer until 545am. At 545, we started pushing! I pushed for about an hour and a half and seemed like he wasn't descending the birth canal past the pelvic bones so out came the forceps. After a few more pushes and a LOT of tugging, EJ arrived at 726 am. I did tea, they stitched me up. EJ was swept away to the special care nursery as discussed during labor due to my fever.
EJ cleared all testing and we were both discharged this afternoon! We're slowly introducing him to our 80lb lab. We're thankful & blessed as we learned one of my husbands coworker was mourning the loss of their premature son as we were celebrating the arrival of our son. Please say a prayer for little angel baby Lucas James..
Cameron Michael arrived promptly on his due date, June 1 at 5:51 a.m. 7 lbs, 13 ozs. Labor was a whirlwind 5 hours, was at 7 cm when we got to the hospital. I was GBS positive, so only got one round of antibiotics, but he tested OK and we're both back home. Did end up with a 4th degree tear, but so far recovery is going well.
Healthy and beautiful - we are blessed!

Lincoln Joseph, born 8:19 am today at 39+1 via scheduled c-section. He is 8 lbs 6 oz, 21 in and has a head full of long brown hair and the chubbiest cheeks. He's happy, healthy, and learning to breastfeed like a champ.
Cecil Miles was born last night at 9:58pm, weighing in at 5lbs, 8oz and 1 day before his due date. Mom dad and baby are all doing great! I must say that going in the tub at the hospital really seemed to speed labor up. I would do it again (even though it hurt like hell)!
I'm so late in posting, parenting is time consuming and exhausting work!
Meet Desmond! Born 5/28 at 39 weeks exactly, weighing in at 5 pounds 11 ounces. He is very healthy with a great set of lungs and hearty appetite. I am absolutely head over heals in love with him - it is overwhelming in the most amazing way.
Hang in there ladies, the last month of pregnancy is impossibly hard, but you are about to experience the most incredible love that you won't even mind the exhaustion! (that much)
Chassity Lexis was born on 6/3 at 630pm. 7 lbs 10.4 Oz 21 inches long we are so in love with her. She is being such a good baby. Having a hard time waking her up to bf but it's ok.
Little Paul James was born yesterday 6/3 at 7lbs 15oz, 37.5 weeks. My water broke at 7am and he was in my arms by 3pm! I went from being dilated to 5, to an 8 within an hour so I missed my window for an epidural. He has the second day sleepies, and we are enjoying our snuggles.
Our Bean was born June 2 at 11:02 am via C-section at 39 weeks and 3 days. Weighing 7 lbs, 2 oz and measuring 18 inches long. She's happy and healthy and we couldn't be more excited for our second little girl Amina Angel.
