Baby Sean is here!
I was scheduled to come in for induction at exactly 39 weeks on Monday night. MH and I left R with my mom, got Mexican food and donuts, and then checked in at 8pm.
They started the pitocin at 11:25, administered the epidural at 2:30 am, broke my water around 3 am, and he was born at 5:25 am. Unlike my last one, this epidural worked perfectly and I didn't feel a thing. It just took one push to get him out, and the whole situation was just easy and completely ideal.
R came to visit first thing and just fell in love with his brother right away. It warmed my heart so much. We're all home now and trying to figure out this two kid life.

Well, I jinxed myself in saying we were going to make it to all our pre-baby events etc. Team green turned BLUE!
Baby Theo made his arrival this morning at 38+2! He is 7lb 14.5 oz and 22 inches long.
I woke up to an odd sensation, stood up and my water broke at 2am. We got to the birth center at about 3:40 but contractions were not consistent or anything. Things really ramped up around 6:30, got in the tub just before 7 and he was here at 7:55 (with only about 4 contractions worth of pushes) It was my third unmediated birth, second water birth.
We are still in a bit of shock that he is here and early! Our other two were late so we did not expect this early!

My midwife told me today they are counting my total actual labour as 1.5 hours 😳 So I’m pretty glad we went to the birth centre when we did even though it felt too early at the time. If we’d waited we would have been stressing I think

Team Green Turned Team Pink! We now have a trio of little ladies! Baby Reese made her debut today at 11:41am weighing in at 8lbs 8oz 20 in long! Her sisters adore her already. The details: So I still haven’t gotten over being sick and my coughing was actually getting worse as the days went by I pretty much got no sleep the last two nights coughing my head off so I was really scared of having the energy and right headspace for this induction. It was probably a combination of adrenaline and techniques I learned in prenatal yoga but it ended up being an amazing experience! I had to get there at 7am but literally did nothing but paperwork and answering questions until 9am. Then the doc came in and agreed to break my water to see if that would get things going. It didnt do much so instead she gave me the lowest level of pitocin at 10am. I walked the halls and within minutes I was back in my room, first in the birthing ball and then on hands and knees on the bed with pretty strong contractions. They checked me a short while later and said I was already 8-9cm which was really motivational. I kept laboring down and then I announced that I had the urge to push—she checked me again and I was complete. Rather than flip over (which I didn’t want to do because of my cough) I asked if I could give birth “pioneer woman style” on all 4s and she was cool with it so that’s what I did! It was actually super cool and I felt like I had much more pushing power. She was suddenly out and my husband announced it was a girl! PDQ will delete later: **poof**

Baby girl was born this morning just after 12am, beating her scheduled induction by 14 hours.
She’s the tiniest little peanut at 5lbs 13oz (no clue why, both DS and DD were 7.5ish lbs). She otherwise seems healthy, and is just starting to get the hang of nursing. I had a big SBs latte this afternoon that for the first time in 8 months didn’t taste like garbage 🙌. Hopefully she continues to do well and we can bust out tomorrow.
