Hi all!
I don't post often, but I read a lot - and I just wanted to let you know that Seamus (pronounced "SHAY-mus" - it's Irish for James) Patrick (due July 10), was born June 25th at 3:28 am. I was pre-eclamptic, so this was my first one to be "forced" along a little, but at 8 lbs., 10 oz, I'm not too sad that he had to come a bit early!:-) Even with the encouragement of labor, I was still only in labor for about 5 hours (about standard for me) and suffered no extraneous complications (I was very worried about having interventions since I never have).
Good luck to all you mamas still waiting - I've never been anything but very late before, so I know how hard these last weeks can be. Hang in there!
