Charlotte Ruth Ellen March 6 0625 4lbs 13oz being transferred across the street to a children's hospital because of bouts of apnea secondary to me being on Mag Sulfate through delivery.
Our little bundle arrived at 36 weeks after severe preeclampsia setting in. Introducing Piper Grace born at 6:36 pm on 3/6/16 weighing 5 lbs 8 oz. and 17 1/2 inches. Thankful she was able to come home without a stay in the NICU and now just tying to get her weight back up above 5 lbs. She is such a blessing.
Well I was induced and gave birth at 6:06 p.m. today. I was exactly 38 weeks along. They induced me for early mild preeclampsia. Dante is a healthy 6 lb 15 oz baby, 20 inches long.
My team green baby turned team BLUE was born on St. Patrick's day! Brooks was born at 5:49 am on 3/17/16 (37w2d) weighing 5lbs 13oz, 19 inches. All is going well.

Madden Marie Celestine! Born on 3.21 around 11PM. 8lb10oz, 21.5 inches long! I was at a point where I thought she would never come out yesterday and, go figure, here she is!!!
Dolores Ray born 3/22/16 Went for a routine appt but found a 3+ protein in urine and elevated BP so sent right to triage. After being admitted doctor decided that I was mild enough to do a slow induction. Had cervadil placed with the intention of keeping it in for 12 hours and pitocin after that... Last about 4 hours when my contractions were 4 mins apart. So nurse removed the cervadil, and put me in the labor tub. 10 mins later my water broke and things got real! I intended on having a med free birth, but after 30 mins I asked for an epidural. Nurse went to check me again, and found I was at 9cm! 4-9 in 40 mins... No epidural for me. About an hour later of laboring on my hands and knees I was holding my sweet little girl. Labor and delivery was 2 hours total, my doctors and nurses were shocked... And I think I was in shock. No tearing or swelling, so I've been feeling pretty awesome. Baby is a breastfeeding champ with 2 very wet diapers and several poopy ones. No latching problems and a huge appetite like mommy.
Ella, 5lbs 13oz and Lucy, 4lbs 5oz, born 3/22 via csection just shy of 36 weeks. Ella is doing great and able to room with us, Lucy is getting a little help with breathing in the nursery, but doing well!
I know I am more of a lurker but I did want share! I actually delivered waaaay early- at 29 weeks on Feb 11th! I have boy/girl twins. Noah was 2 pounds 13 ounces and Adaline was 2 pounds 11 ounces. I went into premature labor totally unexpectedly (woke up with contractions that quickly escalated; when I got to L&D they were 2 minutes apart). Got steroid shots and Magnesium and lasted 40 hours before my water broke and placenta fully ruptured and there was no choice but get my lil peanuts out quick! They have been in the NICU and improved so much in the last 6 weeks! In fact, Adaline gets to come home tomorrow! Hopefully, Noah won't be too far behind!
Tripp William was born at 8:05 PM on March 23rd at 37 weeks, via c section after failed induction. 6 pounds 11 ounces. He is currently in the NICU due to breathing problems.
After being induced because of severe preeclampsia, baby girl Raelyn made her debut March 23 at 34weeks 3days. 5lbs 1oz & 18.5". She will be staying in the NICU for a couple weeks. We are so in love
Jackson Allen arrived at 2:18PM today! (3/24) went in at 7:00 to be induced by pitocin. Had second degree tears. He is 8lbs 8oz. And 21inches long (Big baby.)
Emilia Alice was born at 10:06 am on March 24th (37 weeks and 3 days). She is baby #3 and my biggest weighing 8 lbs 4 oz and measuring 21 inches long. I woke up to use the bathroom and began timing contractions around 2 am and at 2:30 my water broke. Headed to the hospital about an hour later (had to wait for family to come watch DS and DD1). I got my epidural around 5 and began pushing around 9:30. At 10:06 she made her debut sunny side up (which explains the back pain I was experiencing when contracting). I didn't tear and have been enjoying my time with Emmie. Good luck to all of the other mamas!
Alexander Jacob "AJ" was born 3/22 at 36 weeks, 3 days. 6 pounds 1.4 ounces and 17.5 inches. At 2 AM I had some very light spotting and strong back pain but no contractions. The doctor said to wait and see. By 4 AM I was timing the back pain 45 seconds, 7 minutes apart even though I still wasn't really contracting in front. The doctor sent me in just in case and I found myself 7 centimeters dilated and 80% effaced. By 1:49 PM, we were welcoming this peanut into the world.
Water broke on Thursday 24th ,19:20 pm and I wouldn't dilate even after pictocin,had to do a emergency c section on the 25 th ,he was born at 13:55pm on good Friday ,weight 5.6 pounds ,length 49cm ,my happy healthy boy ,Jayden Dante ! At 38 weeks .
My team green baby turned team blue! Mark Patrick was born on March 20th via c section at 38 weeks, after a 4 day failed induction for preeclampsia. He weighed 7lbs 14 oz, and 20inches long.
Cameron James was born 03/26 at 1:03 PM after a quick and easy 4 hours of labor and delivery. He weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces and he was 20 inches long. I am so in love with him. It's hard to believe that just a few days ago he was inside of me. Now he's out and so adorable. I am truly blessed.
What a surprise! Adam was born March 30th at 7:50 am. He was born at 37+4 weeks and weighs 6 lbs 1oz. Water broke in a dramatic fashion and birth was a total of eight hours with SO driving like a madman to make it just in time to witness the birth. Enamoured and anxious but confident it'll all work out.
Woke up to DH's alarm at 6am and thought my water may have broken, contractions starting soon after. After about an hour of contractions, I decided that this was actually the real deal as opposed to the false labor of the past few weeks. We called Grammy to come stay with DD and we headed to the hospital at about 8:15.
I was between 3-4 cm at check in (8:45) and we found out that my water hadn't actually broken, but I was definitely in labor. The contractions intensified way faster than with my daughter and by 10:30 I asked to start fluids so I could get an epidural. The anesthesiologist came about 11:30 and had the epi placed by noon. About the same time, my doctor came over from the clinic and to check in. At that point I was at 5 cm and 90%.
After the epidural kicked in, I took a nap and my body went to work. Our nurse, Jenny, came in with the student who was shadowing her to check me because baby's HR was dropping with each contraction. Apparently that's a sign that you're about ready to go. I was at 8 cm already.
I snoozed again until 2, when Jenny came back to re-check and I was ready to go! They called my doctor from the clinic (across the street) and got the room ready to go. I pushed for 5 contractions and Theo was born at 2:30 pm.
After some skin to skin time while I got a couple stitches for a minor tear, he was able to latch and ate for about half an hour. He got weighed and measured and is now getting his first snuggles from Dad while we wait for Grammy to bring DD to meet her little brother.
Levi Cedar was born at 5:15 am this morning (Mar. 30) and weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs 9 oz and 21.5 in long! My water broke (on a walk in the middle of the street) at around 6:30, labour started at 9:30, we headed into the hospital around 2:30, and he joined us at 5:15! Everything went well and we are so happy to have him in our family! Thanks for all your support, bumpies!
Nash Reginald was born March 28 weighing 6lb 3oz at 18.5 inches long. Water broke at 545am, contractions didn't start until around 1pm. Went in again at 3pm and was only 2cm so got sent home. Went back at 7pm and was 8cm and he was born before 9pm.
Baby Quinn was born this morning March 31st at 9:14am. 8lbs 3 oz and 21 inches llong, 39w+6. I called out if work last night, luckily. Contractions started at 1:30am fast and furious, lasting about a min and coming every 2-3 min. DH and I grabbed our bag, called the doctor and drove the hour to the hospital. I was 4 cm when we arrived, got the epidural about 1.5 hrs excruciating hours later, got checked about 15 min after the epi and was fully dilated to 10cm, wow! Pushed for 2 hours and baby was born! Got a 2nd deg tear but not feeling unbearably sore yet. Quinn's daddy and I arein awe and so in love!
Lincoln James was born on 3/10. My due date was 3/30. He weighed 6 lbs 15oz and was 19in long. Labor was the same as it was for my first born son. 8hrs and pushed for 20 min. No IV and no medication here. All natural. Breastfeeding is a little more difficult with him, he is lazy and rather have me pump the milk and drink out of a bottle. We are so in love
Rosemary arrived at 6:37 yesterday morning (3/31)at 39w3d. I got my VBAC! So far, recovery has been so much better than with my C/S. We are all in love!
Peter Elijah was born on March 31st at 5:35 PM weighing 6lbs 7oz at 37 weeks and 3 days.
Was in labor for 22 hours after a failed induction. Doctor asked if I wanted to stop Pitocin, redo Cytotec and start over with Pitocin again (I only dilated to 1cm after Cytotec and max Pit after 22 hours). She said other option was to go ahead and do a c-section since my body was getting even more stressed and was already close to the limit for an emergency c-section thanks to my preeclampsia.
We decided to go ahead with the c-section and within an hour we had a beautiful baby boy.
After 5 days of trying to be induced, little miss Raelynn Elizabeth Marie made her way into the world via c section April 1st at 11:47 pm weighing 8lbs 13 oz and 21 inches long. We are so in love!!
My team green baby....is a girl! Maeve Caroline was born on April 2nd at 4:12 in the morning. I was 38+4 weeks pregnant. She is so tiny at only 6.11 lbs and 19.5 inches long. All of my other babies have been 9+ lbs. She is beautiful. I can't wait to introduce her to my other three kiddos.
