8/7//2018 Zeplyn Grace was born via C section at 34 weeks
This is #4 for us- first c section my water broke while packin for vacation sunday night, she was breached this morning so c section it was- 4 lbs and 7 oz - she is breathing on her own already but will spend some time in the NICU- but glad we have a healthy baby-
8/8/18 team green turned PINK with baby girl born via c section, 5 lbs 1 oz 16 1/2 inches. She is in NICU as expected and doing ok. My recovery (3rd baby) has been a bit tougher than my first 2 but we are hanging in there! We still have yet to name her.
My baby boy, Benjamin Samuel, was born 3 weeks early on 8/14/18! He was 4lbs 7oz and 18.5 inches long! Thankfully, I had a quick and easy delivery. We were very surprised he was that early but he is doing great!
Our baby Livy Grace was born at 8 am at 35w+5d. She is in the NICU for rapid breathing, but is doing great. What a crazy surprise to have an early baby.
My twins Lauren and Wesley were born on 8/21 at 615 and 636am after scheduled induction at 37+1. He was a vacuum assist. She was 6 lb 2 oz and he was 7 lbs 3 oz! We are finally getting discharged today after dealing with her heart murmur and low blood sugar (both resolved) and his pneumothorax from birth trauma and treatment for jaundice. I'm recovering from another 2nd degree tear but feeling good and so glad they're here and not beating up my insides anymore!

Team green turned team Blue yesterday, Aug 29th. Baby Louis was born at 5lbs 7oz and is quite the handsome little one. Post c-section is quite a challenge and the first 3 trips to the bathroom were horrible and felt like marathons, but I'm slowly improving. BFing is going relatively well, the left side is quite sore, but baby attaches well on the R side, and the production is good. All the best!
Charlotte was born today at 1:53pm. 6 pounds, 10 ounces 19 inches long. After trying to go natural, ended up with the epidural. It only took 3 pushes and she was here! Breastfeeding has been an issue this evening even though she fed for 45 minutes an hour after she was born. Me and her are working through it though!
Team green turned pink! 8/30 9:06 am, baby no-name arrived at home. 8 lbs 6 oz vaginal home birth after previous cesarean. It was hard, but so worth it. Champion nurser and super cuddly.

Me: 33 DH: 32 Married 7/18/15 1st born at 35+4 on 6/6/16 Team green turned BLUE! 2nd born at 38+6 on 8/30/18 Team green turned PINK! Due with #3 on 6/6/20 Team Green
My sweet Polly girl was born today at 10:10 am via emergency c-section weighing in at 6 lbs, 9 oz. She's already being sassy in the nicu trying to pull out her tubes.
Theodore Robert was born on his September 1st due date! 7lbs 13oz. 20 inches long. Went into labour in the morning, admitted around noon, had antibiotics for GSB +, water was broken around 3:15PM and he was born at 5:23PM. Went pretty quickly. Took the epidural and giggled my way through L&D.
Josiah Thomas was born on 09/02 at 11:37 pm, 4 hours and 5 minutes after they broke my water as my induction. I was able to go medication-free and it was a hard and fast labor, and I am still in shock that I went from being checked at 8 cm to involuntarily pushing, to him being born in 10 minutes! Our bodies are amazing!
Baby boy is perfect and a healthy at 8 lbs and 7.5 oz (3 pounds bigger than my first daughter!) and 20.5 inches long. He’s nursing like a champ and our whole family is smitten!
We finally got to find out we were having another BOY when he came into the world fast and furious just after midnight on Sept 2! Home and settled in and everyone doing great!
Miriam Lyn burst into the world at 6:12 this morning! (40+5) I wasn’t even in labor for 5 hours! And she was born in triage! Crazy!! She’s 8lbs7oz and 22”
Contractions woke me up at 1:24am. I labored in bed until 4am. Got up and showered. Got DH up and called the doc. Contractions were intense but barely a minute long and about 5 minutes apart. Left for the hospital at 5:30 and contractions were still intense but 3.5-4 minutes apart. Got to the hospital and I couldn’t walk more than 10 steps without getting another contraction. Thank God there were wheelchairs available and DH got one for me. He wheeled me up to check in at triage. I started filling out my name and then said I felt like I had to push.
They got me immediately into triage and we were all trying to get my shorts off. My water burst and my body started pushing! Out she came right in the triage room. The random doc they grabbed couldn’t even get gloves on! Her face is all bruised from the crazy delivery. I can’t believe it was just under 5 hours from start to finish!! Unreal.
Big Brother and Big Sister love her so much already. I can’t believe how much hair she has.
Baby Benjamin was born on 9/15. He was 8 lbs 12oz and 21 inches long. Labor was only 4.5 hours long from start to finish and i successfully did it without an epidural. He’s nursing like a champ and so far big brother seems intrigued but unsure of what to make of him.
Team green turned blue! Baby James Arthur was born today 09/18 via C-section. He is 9lb2oz and a massive 23.5 inches. Baby boy finally arrived 11 days late only 8 hours before my scheduled induction and after a very long 11 days of early labor.
James is doing really well and is very alert and feeding well. I'm doing ok and have a few complications and a suspected infection but I'm feeling surprisingly well despite what would be best described as a hasty elective c-sec.
Me and my husband are over the moon with our beautiful boy.
Team Green turned Team Blue. Baby boy name to be determined born on 9/25 via repeat c section. Joins DS (July16) and DD (September 17). 8lbs 6oz rainbow baby.
