Ok! Romeo Lorenzo Lee was born 1/29/18, at 11:40 pm via emergency (on my part, due to rapidly escalating preeclampsia) C section at 35 weeks and 1 day. He measured 18 inches and a “sturdy” 6 pounds, 12 ounces. He was struggling with breathing and after an attempt at skin to skin they decided he needed to go to the NICU. He is currently doing very well, breathing on his own, working on feeding and self temperature regulation. He is proud to me our first March baby, even if it is January. I don’t know how to use spoiler boxes, I’m sorry!
@leilaquinn I'm not gonna lie, my pregnant self is crying right now! Look at all that hair! He's so beautiful. Congratulations! I hope he is able to go home soon.
Psssst. @nancysimp and @sarahhedger7 Even though I know your messages are so sweet and much appreciated this thread is not actually meant to have any replies. Make sure to read the OP!
Agatha Hedwig was born at 35weeks on 2/1/18. She weighed 5lbs15oz and is strong and fierce already.
My placenta ended up abrupting more so I needed donor blood and some horrific meds after another very fast delivery. My poor husband did not get to witness the birth.
Baby and I are doing great now! She has been doing ok at Breastfeeding, so I pump as well and all of her blood sugars have been great without having to supplement. As long as we both do ok overnight we will go home in the morning!
Samuel Parks joined our family on 2/6/18 by repeat c-section. He was born at 37+1 after some issues with high blood pressure & a diagnosis of cholestasis. He weighed 7 lbs 6 oz and is 20 inches long. We are so in love!

Nora AnnMarie got here at 1:29 this morning - a month early and weighing in at 5 lbs, 6 oz! Thanks to all who offered support and well wishes when I posted in the symptoms thread - will tell her birth story soon!
I don't like putting pictures on here but our little boy, Cohen, was born last night at 10:01pm... 6lbs 1oz at 37 weeks. I was induced due to cholestasis. It was a little bit of a long induction but still so much quicker than my first (also a 37 week induction) and recovery has been much easier this time! Cohen, sadly, was admitted to the NICU a couple hours after being born for labored breathing. He is doing pretty well but will be staying in the NICU for at least a few days.
Welcome to the world, Samuel Joseph! Born at 37+1 ((or 36+3 according to the dating ultrasound)), on 10 February he was 6 lbs 1 oz, and 18”. He is super pink and we are just trying to regulate his blood sugar at this point. So far we’ve avoided the NICU and hope to go home today.
Emma Rose was born on 2/11 at 12:06am. She weighed 6lbs 13oz and is 19 inches long! She got a perfect 10 on her apgar score. We came home yesterday and are monitoring her bilirubin levels, but otherwise she’s a tiny, healthy baby ETA: added pic in spoiler box
Our sweet rainbow baby girl arrived all on her own (no induction although that was the initial plan for that day) just before midnight on 2/16/18 weighing 7 lbs 13 oz, she was 21 1/2 in long at 39+4! We are so tired and so so happy.
My twin boys arrived via scheduled c section on Valentine's day at 36 weeks. Both spent one night in NICU but we all came home together last night! Arlo 6.6 lbs
He's here Gill Lee III or Trey joined the crew 02/20 at 1314 (1:14pm). 7lb, 8oz of pure awesome! I am enamored and sleep deprived lol words cannot describe how much I love this guy.
Our baby Charlie arrived on Saturday, 2/17, 12 days before his due date after my water broke on Thursday night. He clocked in at 7 pounds 10 ounces. We are all home and doing well! Best of luck to all the March mamas! Can't wait to read the birth stories.
Eloise Grace made her appearance Wednesday, February 21st around 6am after an emergency csection. She apparently had no patience to wait an extra 5 days for her scheduled csection. 7 lbs 2 oz and 19 inches long. Mama, dad and big brother are completely smitten with her already.
Samantha Rose was born today at 1024 after labor began at 0100. She weighed 7lbs 11oz and was 19 3/4 long. Her delivery was thankfully uncomplicated. I did have a pretty significant tear in my cervix and needed another episiotomy. It's ok though because now I've got my Sammie Girl!
William arrived on 2-22 after an uneventful labor and crazy fast delivery, don’t worry the dr got there just in time to catch him. No one is more excited to have him here than his sisters.
I’m a bit late to update. My little guys had what several pediatricians called “a very dramatic entrance into the world,” which is a polite way of saying the birth was especially complicated and traumatic and nearly ended very, very badly. But we’re all doing better now. I’ll explain later in birth stories when I have time.
Baby A was born 4 pounds 7 ounces at 7:34 am on 2/22/18, followed by Baby B at 4 pounds 3 ounces at 7:36. Both were born by c-section despite my best efforts, and each spent about 6 days in the NICU. We are all home now, and incredibly grateful to be here.
i'm also a little late in posting, but after 2 high blood pressure readings I was induced on Monday and gave birth on Tuesday night to a 7lb 2 oz, 20 inch long baby girl, Elouise (Ellie) The labor was bizarre, but I'll post that on the other thread. Here she is!!! 3 days later and she already looks completely different but so in love
