Wow! Congratulations!! 5 hours from start to finish, huh? That gives me hope that all our babies (for those who are waiting) could come at any time!

I like the spelling of Jeffrey that you decided on. Congrats again!!

Congratulations, mama!

[luckydog]

BTW, Bethany, I just realized that you GIVE ME HOPE as I sit here squishing my belly and this boy is oh-so-freaking posterior. And you with YOUR persistently posterior boy had a nice fast labor!

Did you notice when he turned OA? Was it before labor? During labor? Or was he born sunny side up??

[mollybird77]

WOOHOO!!!!! Congrats!!!!!

[Panthira]

Yay! Congrats! I love the spelling of your baby's name too.

I also want to know the same things Bee asked.

[bdavis337]

he turned during labor. i had lots of back pain until the last 2 h9urs, so i'm guessing that's when his head direction changed. i didn't see him come out, but tom saya he was "crooked", so i'm guessing acynclitic? i did reach down and pull him out from his shoulders, that was cool. he came really fast, only 5 mins of pushing, so his face is quite bruised.

[jee'smom]

aaaahhhh!!!!! i'm soooo excited!!! congratulations! and very glad he turned for you. can't wait to see pics and hear a birth story, if you decide to write one.

[supermuma]

YEAH!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!

[aileen]

isn't that the best feeling in the world - to pull your baby out?
as my midwife says, "you grabbed him!".
welcome tiny one.
