I didn’t expect to be the first to post here, but my twin boys were born at 32 weeks on 5/29/18. My water broke and labor progressed so quickly: Hayden was born 3 pounds 7 oz and Nolan was born 4 pounds and 4 oz. they are both doing very well and I’m feeling so lucky. Some help was needed initially to breathe but they are now doing it on their own! I’m working on pumping for them and came home last night so we could be home with ds1 this morning, we missed him! Hope everyone is well here!
Jonas was born Saturday, June 2nd (exactly 1 month before his due date) at 4:58 p.m. 5 lbs. 12 oz. just under 19 inches long. He's still in the nicu but I'm able to go up there and nurse him all day and night and he's doing really well. He's so unbelievably perfect and I finally understand the insane level of love my mom has always tried to tell me about, it literally hurts how much I love him
River was born Friday, June 8th, at 12:58 PM by an emergency c-section with general anesthesia due to rising blood pressure and blood disorder. At 37 weeks 5 days, he weighed in at 7 lbs 15 oz (same birth weight as me) and 21 inches. He is everything I could have ever hoped for. Can't believe I'm a mom. Thank you ladies for all of the support and advice along the way.
Rocio was born on 6/8/18. My due date was July 4th so she was born at 36 weeks 3 days. My first was born at 36 weeks also. I had my water break earily again. I was hoping to make it to 38 weeks but she is healthy and happy! She weighed 6lbs 15oz and 19 inches long. It was so great to follow everyone's journey. I can't wait to see more birth announcements!
Sorry for the post with few details (ie no names or pictures) because I am one of those lame online privacy people but I wanted to let you all know that my twin girls arrived on June 9th at 11:11 via c section! We were originally planning to go at 38w but instead delivered at 36+2 as the extra fluid on one of the twins was increasing and I couldn’t feel any movement (and the babies were a good size and were able to get steroids). The girls were both just under 20in long and just under 7lbs each which was a great size for 36w twins. They are so freaking cute, I was worried I wouldn’t bond with them immediately but I love them so much and I am just so happy they are here safe and sound with no NICU time!
Thank you all so much for your support throughout this journey. I realize I’ve been more of a lurker towards the end but this board made my pregnancy so much less stressful. Wishing you all the best as your LOs make their way into the world-all the insane discomfort was beyond worth it!
Our little man was born 6/14 at approx 7pm via c section, weighing 8 lbs 10 oz and 19 inches long. He had a little trouble breathing initially (coughing lots of fluid when he came out) but after 15 minutes on the cpap, his vitals stabilized. Initial blood sugar was 41 but dropped to 17 at his 2 hour recheck so he's now in the NICU. Full head of hair and the most adorable chubby cheeks!
Miss Elise Laine was born 6/16 at 6:52p 7lb 12.8oz 21in long. She was 2 wks earlier because of me randomly have high bp at a routine appt. We're both great and now home. Can't wait to see everyone's littles
Baby Asher was born bright and early Friday morning, 9 lbs, 3 oz, 22 inches long. We arrived home today, and are settling into the chaos of life with 3 boys!

Baby Ethan Cole was born late Saturday night, 6lbs, 6 oz, 18.8 inches long via c-section after many failed attempts at inducing. He is just under the lights but otherwise in good health!!
Don't have a lot of time right now, but quick update while everyone (but me) is sleeping. Beckett was born last night at 7:30. 7lb 11oz, 20.5 inches long. Everybody is doing great!

LO was born Saturday via c-section at exactly 37 weeks. I developed hypertension about 5 days before and on Friday I was in the beginning stages of pre-eclampsia. To avoid complications we scheduled the c/s for the next morning. Team green turned team blue at 8:55am and I gave birth to a 7lb 5oz, 19.5 inch son. He's been in the NICU due to fluids in the lungs, but all is well there. Now just dealing with some jaundice. Hopefully going home Thursday

Steven James (Great Grandpop and Great-Great Grandpop) was born via induction on 6/28 at 638pm (39+3). He is 21" and 9 lbs 1oz. He is happy, healthy, and nursing like a champ! Big bro and big sis are SUPER proud!
Had to get one more June baby in! Daniel was born today (37+2) at 11:45am after my water broke just after midnight. He weighs 6lbs 6oz and is 19.5 inches long. I never in a million years thought I would naturally go early.
Add me to the June baby list! Mira was born on Saturday, June 30th, at 12:32 pm, 20 inches long, and at 8 pounds, 6 ounces, via c-section. She is doing great, and we are so in love with her already. Birth story to come in the days ahead!
Milo Luca was born on July 2nd at 6:26pm after 45 minutes of pushing and a total of 20 hours of labor - 3 of which where definitely very challenging! At 6lbs 4oz he is a tiny guy but he has been latching like a champ and his blood sugar levels were good!
I'm exhausted and DH was a trooper, supporting and doing all the things throughout! Birth story to follow tomorrow!
It’s a boy! (Team green turns team blue.) Hunter Spencer was born 7/2 (his due date) at 4:14 pm, 10 hours after arriving at the hospital to be induced. 8 lbs 14 oz and no epidural! (Not by choice, but fortunately he came out pretty quickly after having my water broken.) Hunter and DH are bonding while I write from the hospital bed (: Baby boy is doing well!
Jade Michelle was born last night at 39w1d! 7lbs 9oz. I had a planned induction that started yesterday morning. She is such a little love and I’m so glad to see her after all of the scares throughout this pregnancy.
Michael was born July 4th at 39w1d weighing 8lbs 10oz, spontaneous labor...dilated from 5cm to 10cm in an hour with no assistance, no pain meds because he was too fast!
She’s here! Our little Fiona was born this morning at 10:08am, 7lb 9oz, 19.5 inches!! She’s smaller than her big brother was but still has a set of cheeks!
Hotaru Graeme (HG) Shikata S decided to take his parents for a wild ride and race me today rather than wait for our scheduled induction. Made his appearance at 5:21pm weighing in at 7lbs 12 oz and 20 inches.
