Did not expect to be the first one in our group to need this thread. Already announced in the other thread but for purposes of organization:
Maveric Wilder born Sept 26th at 34w1d, 4lbs 9oz and 17 and 1/4inches. Already very much fitting his name, can tell he is going to be my wild child. Hoping he will be coming home in the next couple of weeks. Can't wait to see the rest of the November 2018 babies, good luck Mommas, you're almost there!
Had a whirlwind of a day yesterday and this little man made his enterance into the world at 34 weeks 1 day! He weighed 4 pounds 2.5 ounces and was 18 inches long! I’ll post a more in depth birth story when I have a computer instead of my phone because phone typing a novel is just annoying 😂! Here’s Tristan James!

Team Green no more!! Two baby boys born early this afternoon!
Maddox Michael & Pierce David born at 34w 6d weighing in at 4lb 13oz and 4lbs 3oz. It’s been such a whirlwind, I don’t even know their lengths! They’re both in the NICU, but doing well!
Miss Evelynn-Faye joined us October 19th at 8:28pm at 37w5d after only labouring for two hours. She was 6lbs 7ozs and 19 inches long. So far she's a quiet baby and is adored by her two older sisters
Team Green has turned team pink and blue!!! Kaiden Esau and Zara Lynn came into this world on 10/25/18 at 36wks (scheduled c/s secondary to ICP). They were both 5lbs 6oz at birth and are growing and breast feeding like champs!
Two Furbabies: Mika (american eskimo) and Gypsy (wire-haired terrier, dachshund mix)
Twins: Kaiden and Zara born 10/2018 conceived after 6 years of infertility via a medicated IUI
With the craziness of everything, I never actually posted here! Sydney Cora joined us on October 23rd at 2:18am weighing 7lbs 2oz. I was 38w4d pregnant. She's not home with us yet, but hopefully in the next couple of weeks. This picture is from yesterday when she was 1 week old.
Elodie Celeste and Imogen Noelle were born 7 minutes apart on October 23rd, weighing in at 5lbs 11oz and 5lbs 2oz! Discharged the 25th and thrilled for no NICU time.
James Patrick arrived on 11/1/18 at 9:58 am weighing 9 lbs 13 oz and 21 inches long. He is so incredibly loved. It was my first c section (my son and daughter were vaginal births.)
Team green turned team blue! Spencer Jacob was born 11/2 at 2:26pm. He was 7lb 8oz and 19in long (2.5lbs and 3in smaller than big brother was). He is everything we hoped and dreamed of!

My LO 'Omar' born on 10/19 at 4:22 am, 16 days earlier than due date! It was a normal delivery (already 7 cm dilated) and took around 30 min! Weight 7 lb 12 oz, height 20.5"
Isla Peta Johnston born 11.11.18 40 +6 weeks at 534pm. Labour 15 hrs ( active labour about 2hrs). Vaginal delivery with episiotomy ..ouchies. Used the bath and gas for pain relief. I wanted epi last minute but it was too late lol. Pushed her out in 8 mins. Shes a whopper at 9 pound 1 oz. Very hungry already though..😣
Baby Maren Marie was born 11/13/18 at exactly 41 weeks via semi-scheduled c-section due to baby’s estimated size (just over 9 pounds) and second failed attempt to dilate with a foley bulb. Upon arrival, she measures 9 pounds, 14 ounces and is 21.5 inches long. She nurses like a champ but is not regularly passing her glucose tests so she’s going to spend the night in the NICU to get IV fluids and hopefully that’ll be all she needs to get things regulated. I know I haven’t been the most active participant of the board- I felt like I didn’t have much to give being a FTM and a very smooth pregnancy. I’ve lurked and love-titted like crazy and wish all of you waiting on your day the best of luck and all of those who have their little ones congrats again. It’s been awesome going on this journey with you and I can’t wait to see everyone’s little ones and continue on as mommas with ones on the outside
Hi ladies!! Sorry I have been MIA lately. When I get on, it is easier to just do Facebook. However, I did want to let anyone who isn't on Facebook know that little man was born!
Maddox Christian-Edward, Max for short, was born on Monday, November 12th at 10:42 am. He was exactly 38 weeks. He was 5 lbs, 15 oz and 19 inches long (exactly the same as DD!) The best part is that his blood sugar have been great and no signs of the fifth disease. So he is perfect and we love him!
Hai guise! Sorry I've been MIA recently. I'm having a hard time keeping up/posting/providing support on FB let alone here too. But wanted to share: We have a baby! Talulla Jean born 11/9 at 9:31am. 7lb8oz and 20 inches long. Labor started when my water broke (or the"bloop" happened as I like to call it ) around 7pm on 11/8 (I was 38+4). Labor was about 14 hrs in total, got an epidural about 5 hrs in when they told me I was only 3cm dilated. By about 7:30 when my OB got in to check me contractions were still roughly 5mins apart and they were discussing pitocin. But guess what! I was fully dilated! We let baby drop into birth canal more for about 90 mins while my OB did a procedure and then pushed for 30 minutes (with contractions still only 5 mins apart :lol). Had a small lateral tear towards the side of one of my labia. We're having trouble BFing so still working at it but pumping in the meantime. Had to spend Monday afternoon through Thursday evening on a bili light which thankfully we were able to bring home! Last check little Lulu is regaining weight (had been down to 6lb15oz) and pooping like a champ!

ETA: He was 8 lbs 6 oz, my biggest baby.i was really nervous to get induced but I had a super positive experience. I chose to get an elective induction at 39 weeks.
