OK girls, you can hate me.
I was never sick, and loved being pregnant.
Baby due on 10th......nothing....decided to have 1 drink with my Aunt for her birthday and about 2 AM woke with a tummy ache.
3 hours of cramps. 15 minutes of hard labor while I waited for the doctor to get to the hospital. When the doc arrived and said push, he literally had to 'catch' Jessica. 1 push and DONE! Au natural birth. Ed by my side both times and pictures taken. Jess was 8 lbs. 2 oz. and came home on Valentines day.
4 years later our son, even quicker. 10 minutes at hospital and plop. Matthew was 6lbs 2 oz. He was 22 inches long and so thin that I cried. He is now 6'2"!! He was born on fathers day.
Spent 3 days in the hospital each time.
I was then 'fixed' . Dr. did not want to 'fix' me. He said I was a baby machine! many years later I offered to carry an in vitro child for my cousin and her husband who were having problems. We almost went through with it. Then at the 11th hour a call came for a baby girl from Guatamala that needed a home and they opted for adoption. Giana Rose, such a beautiful happy girl with wonderful parents.
