here are more pictures of my baby girl! Good luck to the rest of my July mommys! Even though I ended up being a June mommy, I am so glad I was a part of this group! 
if you are a first time mom do not get worried or scared about labor, it is so much easier than it seems. Once you hold your little angel in your arms you forget you were ever in any pain or discomfort. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns about labor or the first couple days at home with baby!

Re: More pictures of Baby Brooklyn
Thank you! And I know total photo bomb!! My dogs are so protective of her already it is so cute. The poodle in that picture doesn't leave her side.
Yes I had an epidermal. Not going to lie the contractions are painful but to me they felt like really bad menstral cramps. I got my epidermal at 3cm dilated and once I had that it was smooth sailing. I didn't feel ONE thing when she was born. I thought I wasn't even pushing and then 15 minutes later she was out. Are you using medication or natural?
Do not be scared! What really helped me was having a good support team in the room with me. I am a single mother so I had my mom, sister snd my daughters godmother. They all took turns holding my hand during contractions, rubbing my back and giving me ice which was a life saver. I also had an amazing nurse who was very encouraging. Just make sure you are as comfortable as possible and that you have people there to help you!
Well I had a different labor. I wasn't due until July 7th so I had this balloon looking catheter inserted into my cervix to start dilating me which is pretty painful so I felt awful until it fell out later that night. Then I was induced in the hospital at 3 am and had pretty bad contractions until my epidermal. The contractions feel like really bad cramps. I got pretty bad nausea and heartburn but they gave me medicine for both. And then once I had the epidermal I didn't feel anything.
Since you have to wait a couple weeks just stay super hydrated and just pay close attention to any draining fluids or blood. I felt my water break and it really is a rush of fluids so you will know when you are in labor
