My Three Babies

Our babies tend to all look very similar. See if you can guess who is who. Sami is obvious, as she is the only one with a bow but the boys are a little harder.

Our little boy was born March 21, 2011, weighing 7 lbs. 15 oz. and 19.5 inches long. I woke up that morning to Sami lifting up my shirt at about 7am. When I asked her what she was doing she looked at me and said "Is the baby still in there?" When I said yes, she looked right at me and said "Oh, she's coming today." Well she was right about the arriving part, but incorrect about the "she." At about 9 in the morning I thought maybe I felt my water break. I was a little unsure as I have never had my water break on it's own before. I called the doctor to see what he thought and he wanted me to come in just to get checked out. I had an appointment scheduled with him at 1 but he thought I should come in sooner. I was having contractions too but I had been having those for weeks. These did feel different but I was still unsure as to what was going on. I got the kids ready for school, dropped them off, kissed them goodbye and off to the doctor I went.


I arrived at about 10 and they confirmed that indeed my water had broken. I was dilated to about a 4 and was 80% effaced. I was in active labor. Off to the hospital I went, or I should say I walked since it was just across the parking lot. I got around 11 and the nurse checked me in, did some blood work, and all of the other things they do. She then checked me again and I was dilated to a 5 or 6. She looked at me very concerned and asked if there was someone that she could call to come be with me. I assured here that my husband was on his way and she said, "Well he better hurry up." She was correct. 3 hours and about 4 pushes later our little man made his debut into the world. He is perfect in every way and is a very good baby. Here are some pictures for everyone to enjoy. He looks very much like his big brother did as a newborn, but we all know that all of our children look the same anyways:)
