Just popping in to say that Zachary Joseph was born at 10:56pm on May 22 after a whopping 2 hours and 45 minutes of labor, weighing in at 7 lbs 4 oz and measuring 20 inches long. If he could have waited one more hour, he could've shared a birthday with his big brother (who turned two yesterday), but I don't think waiting patiently is in his nature. He's beautiful and perfect, we're in love. Pictures and birth story to follow once we get more settled.

Maryam - just saw the pics of your son, congrats on such a handsome little guy!
Linnie - love that pic and the look on his face!

So excited for everyone! biggrinbounce.gif I can't believe there's only one more week in May. I was so surprised my baby turned out to be an April baby... maybe there will be some June babies as well.

Baby Girl was born on May 19 via last-minute, but not emergency, c-section due to breech position discovered after 14 hours of natural, Hypnobabies labor. We're doing great, and I'm not at all traumatized by the section, to my great surprise and relief. 7 lbs, 1.5 oz, 39 weeks exactly.

Congratulations Cristeen! Beautiful name, and wow...22 inches! That's a long baby (or maybe I'm just used to my little shrimps).

Orion Zane P. was born at home into the water (my first tub birth!) at 41weeks 2days, weighing 9lbs 4oz and measuring 22.5 inches. Still can't believe he has a penis!

Long story short: My water broke during a random contraction Thursday morning at 12:58am... and we waited and waited and waited. Labor didn't start 'til Friday evening and even then my contractions never got close together. Somehow I slept in 5 minute increments from 10p-6a 'cause my contractions were still 10 minutes apart even though they SUCKED.

The pushing stage caught us off guard this morning and little Ozzie's head was born into his dad's hands just as our first birth attendant was walking in the front door. DH was sure glad to have someone else around to help as the rest of Oz emerged about 60 seconds later at 7:49am, just 13 minutes after we sent out the notice for my birth team and family member to think about starting to head over, but telling them there was no rush. Whoops!

Other than the fact that I have no pictures or video of the birth, and not even 1 friend or family member (not even Lolli & Poppy, who were sleeping over at Gma's) made it in time to see Ozzie's big arrival, it was still very amazing ♥ He's a natural at breastfeeding and I feel great!

 

Also very thankful we weren't planning a hospital birth because even if I had been able to talk them into letting me wait 55 hours between my water breaking and giving birth, we only really had about 7 minutes notice that birth was imminent, so I would have ended up with an unassisted, unplanned home or car birth, which would definitely not be ideal!


Looking back, I suppose I was going through transition around 6:45am when I told Zach I was thinking about heading to the hospital for some Pit, an epi and a nap... but I was in total denial since my contractions had stayed so spaced out. Even when I got into the tub about 45 minutes before the birth, I was a little worried that I was getting in too soon during early labor and I'd slow things way down. So interesting!

The 2nd person to arrive at the birth was my photographer friend who only lives 3 miles away.  She got there just in time to snap a picture before we got out of the tub :)

Wow, that picture is fantastic, Luna. There are so many layers captured in it. You're photographer got there in perfect time.  Congratulations on adding a new beautiful boy to the family.

Congratulations, Mlog! He made it in May. He's adorable. 22 hours! That's quite a birth marathon.
