“How will you give it up” – The answer to this question, my friends, is simple…. It’s not my baby and I am not “giving up” anything, I am simply giving.

11 weeks and counting! Well two weeks has gone by, and it has been a rough two weeks. The first week karma decided that if I took two days off work it would bite me with a stomach virus. I ended up in the hospital and two bags of fluid later I was released to go and spent 16 hrs asleep.

Well, just like that 6 months have gone by. It took 4 transfers to finally get a little one to stick…as of today I am officially off all hormones! Yahoo!

So in 2008 my mother, father, brother, and myself all picked up and moved to Vermont. To a hotel of all places. Well it wasn’t that bad. I made friends with the night clerk and swam all the time, got my own room. So it really wasn’t all bad. I had a few dates with some guys.

Very happy to announce surrobaby girl!!! She arrived Tuesday May 14, 2019 at 1:51pm. She was 7 lbs 9oz and 21 inches. By far my largest. It was one of my more complicated labors even though it was only 17 minutes. Let's just say when I thought she was out, she actually wasn't, so two contractions worth of pushing.

39.1 weeks today wow! I was supposed to have a membrane sweep yesterday to hopefully bring on labor as it worked so well with my two little girls. In addition, I was already having 10 min contractions but all fake labor.

Ok, so it has been a while since I have been able to write. It may seem like there is all the time in the world for being able to write a three minute paragraph, but over the last couple of months it has been one type or busy on top of another type of busy.
