Well, trying to read.

8lbs even!
10 days late!
This little boy was giving me some serious stress!
At ten days late we were getting awful close to having to have a hospital birth.
Fortunately he came through for me and we were able to have him at home.
For someone who had given me such a hard time
(time wise and with nearly a month of terrible braxons and contractions)
he was born blissfully fast.
So fast in fact, that Donna the midwife had only been here for about ten minutes.
Her and James were scrambling around getting things in order….
…..and I was trying unsuccessfully to get myself situated
when he made his appearance.
The other midwives missed the event entirely!
Anyhow, he’s a perfectly wonderful baby boy who has
a huge smile ….
a strong grip ….
and an incredible talent for creating a wash load.
🙂
Yes, PREGNANCY.
As in the baby who refuses to be born.
Two weeks of false starts.
Two weeks of starting to time contractions.
And NOTHING. Nada.
It was slightly amusing/slightly annoying at first.
Now it’s just nerve wracking.
I’ve always maintained that girls are easier then boys….
This is just further proof.
Between the ‘wouldn’t wish it on my enemy” agony of Thaddeus’s posterior birth
….as in ‘sunny side up’….
(I don’t understand the science behind why facing up or down makes any sort of difference-
but DOES IT EVER!)
and now our tardy child.
Ok, so he’s only two days past due date, but I normally go two days or so early. And I normally am not teased for two weeks. And he’s been super low and ready to go.
At 40 weeks we’re now measuring 37.
That’s pretty low.
(sigh)
