Hailey Rose was born on 8/11, one day early. She joined us at 3:17pm, about 29 hours after my membranes were swept. 8 pounds 7 ounces, and 20.5 inches long. After a traumatic birth and NICU stay with DS, this has been an absolute dream so far. Big brother will be coming later today to meet his new baby sister.
Baby Ben was born 8/6 at exactly 37 weeks all on his own (which was a surprise) and one day after his mommas birthday! He's lost some weight, but other than that we're doing great!
thanks to everyone here for the helpful advice throughout pregnancy - I felt much more prepared/like I could handle it thanks to you guys!
Our lovely Olivia Averie decided to make her appearance on Wednesday 8/9/17, I was 38 wks + 3 days. She arrived at 6:40pm, weighing in at 7lbs 8 oz & 19.75" long. She's now being protected by her big brother Landon!
Cannon Dean joined us on August 12, 2017 at 4:43PM. He was 7 pounds 5 ounces and 20 inches long. He is a dream baby so far, and we are completely in love!
Samuel James joined us on August 14th at 12:55 am! He was born via c-section after not fitting out! He was a whopping 9lbs 12oz and 21.25 inches long. There was no way he was coming out naturally from his 5 foot tall mommy!

Mommy to a super cute havanesse puppy and baby boy!
Anderson James born 08/19/17@6:06am! 6lbs 13oz and 18 inches long. Looks just like biggest sister Ansleigh! Been such a sweet boy so far. Hopefully he stays this way!
It's a boy! Charlie Rowan was born at 5:42pm, after about a 45 hour induction process. He's only 4 lbs 15 oz, so he's spending some time in the NICU. Only once ounce shy of the cutoff, but otherwise he seems healthy!
OOur son was born 8/18. Exactly at 39 weeks even though he only measured 35w 2d. He weighed 5lbs and was 19in long. We had to deliver by emergency c section due to complications with the placenta and umbilical cord. He is our strong little man.
Team green now team BLUE! Ethan Joseph was born 08/29 at 2:31pm after a 4.5 hour induction. 8lbs 4oz and 21.5 inches long. He had a true knot in his chord and it was wrapped around his neck. At the end he also leaked merconium. I am so glad we induced when we did because we had no clue about the knot so who knows what could have happened. He is doing awesome though.
I was due aug 6 but my little guy decided to come on July 31. On July 30 around 11pm I started having contractions really close together. Gradually they grew apart. An hour later my daughter woke up and I was still having contractions 5 mins apart. Since things happened so quickly with my daughter we tried to get to the hospital quickly but we had to figure out a sitter option and it was 1 in the morning at this point lol. When we eventually got to the hospital I was 5cm. They had me walk around. About 2 hours later I go get checked again. They said I was almost 6cm so they admitted me. When I finally got settled in my room I was checked again and was told I was still 5cm. So they started me on a low dose of pitocin, so I got the epidural. It only took to my right side though, but it wasn’t so bad. Mostly it felt like a cramp from running. So it was annoying. The contractions got really close together. Around 5/530pm they checked me again. Barely a 6. So 530pm they break my water. Immediately the contractions were so much stronger and since my epi only worked on one side I was feeling so much on the left. 6:01 pm my little man was born. 7 pounds even, 20 1/4” long. He had some issues with jaundice so we had to stay in the hospital an extra day. He’s now 9 pounds 12 1/2 oz and 21”!
I'm a little late on posting... but at 36 weeks Allie Elizabeth Robbins decided she was ready to meet mom and dad! Weighing 5 lbs 5.4 oz and 17.5 inches long. The nurses and midwife said delivery was a textbook delivery and I was in the hospital 6 hours before she was born. She is such a blessing and we are loving parenthood!
