This is my new sister. She weighs 7# and 10 ounces. She is 20 1/2″ long and does not have a name yet, but some of us think that her name should be Tara. I think that Her name should be Patience because she didn’t cry when she was born and doesn’t [...]

Our new little girl still has no name. If hubby and I could manage to wake up at the same time, maybe we could discuss the matter…
She was born at 8:07 AM, after about 7 hours of active labor - starting when I tried in vain to get some sleep last night.
She weighed in at [...]

The Midwife has been here for a while and Dad said about twenty minutes ago that Mom is about ready to push.
Don’t you wish that you were here to welcome the new baby instead of having to wait for pictures?
actually the suspense is about the same here.

…but all is well.
contractions are holding steady a 3 minutes and growing longer.
This maybe the last update for a while. I need to go rub her back.

THe midwife is on the way and Kim is in the pool.
Contractions are hard enough to be difficult to talk through…(I hope the midwife gets here in time!)
once she hits 5 minutes there is usually less than a couple of hours left - and the midwife is an hour away.

But now they really hurt. The midwife will be hearing from us as soon as hubby is out of the bathroom. The pool is filling, and I have no intention of waiting til it’s full to get in.

Bed was NOT more comfortable, and I had a doozy of a contraction in there. In spite of that, hubby didn’t stir even when I jiggled him, flipped on the overhead light, and called the midwife.
I told her she didn’t need to come out yet - I just needed assurance that she wasn’t 4 hours [...]

Call me silly, but I’m heading back to bed. It’s 3:24 AM. I have no illusions of sleep, but am hoping to get a little more comfortable.
I’m also secretly hoping that hubby will wake up as I crawl into bed, ask how I am, and then he can decide if and when to panic and [...]

Wow. Getting out of bed shook things up a bit, didn’t it? But they’re not as intense now. These contractions every 4 minutes aren’t as scary as they sound. I’m going to read a few of the links that y’all left for me on Wednesday.

I went to bed, but sleep just isn’t happening. As soon as my head hit the pillow, contractions started coming every 7-10 minutes. After an hour and a half of trying, I finally realized they are just too strong to sleep through. I’ll be just dozing off as the next one hits me and owww! [...]
