Babies galore!

In the span of 4 days last week, 4 of my friends had babies.

Saturday, July 10 saw 2 babies. Jill, a sorority sister of mine, had a little girl, Carolyn Leona, around 9:30 Saturday morning after a labor of about 36 hours (Yikes!). Saturday night, and Vanessa gave birth to Logan who decided to arrive just a few weeks early (he was 36 weeks).

Monday, July 12, Lori, another sorority sister, gave birth to Emily Winifred, who came right on her due date.

Tuesday, July 13, Libby, my pregnant friend in my baby shower pictures, gave birth to her son. They've been quiet so far on the details as even though he was 2 days shy of his due date, he was needing help breathing and has spent a few days in the NICU. We ran into the father yesterday in the hospital cafeteria while we were eating lunch during a break from our childbirth class and he gave us the news. Upon hearing that, we figured his name wasn't that important just yet. We just hope that everything turns around and they can bring him home.

In other news, I was back at Triage late Wednesday night due to more contractions. I took Thursday and Friday off from work. I go in for right around a half day tomorrow before leaving to go to my 36 week appointment. I've felt a few more contractions, but none that were really trackable. We'll see if I'm still 1cm and 80% or if those numbers are different. And, my childbirth class was yesterday and it was pretty interesting. I am glad I took it. We were hesitant after the baby care class we had in June, but this was much better. Now, it truly is a waiting game. Ideally, if he could show up after this week as Jason is out of town for band camp. But, my sister will be flying in to stay with me, just in case. Who knows, there is a full moon next Monday.
