congratulations to the new mamas, and excited for those who are about to deliver!

little E was born january 17 at 8:12pm, weighing in at a little over 8 pounds. i'm 5'2", so i'm not quite sure how he all fit in there.

@edelweiss: Awww what a great pic. ADORABLE!!!

Hi there! I wasn't a poster on the boards before joining Hellobee as a blogger, but I'm hoping to join in on this thread now, if you'll have me.

Little Eloise was born January 4, a little peanut at 7lbs 4oz. (Peanut compared to her big brother, at least, who was almost nine pounds when he was born!). I hope to write up the birth story soon and post it, but in short, it was a fast fast fast natural hospital birth.

Nice to meet you all!

@edelweiss: What a sweetheart!

@Mrs. Chalk: Welcome! Come join our postpartum group, too!

@Mrs. Chalk: WELCOME!!!

@allison: Dang it! I gasped when I saw you posted on here. I was really thinking I was going to see a baby pic!!
Good to hear there was some progress though. 40 weeks this week for me. Ugh!

Its def getting quiet on this board. Very ready to join the other one!!

@edelweiss: congratulations, he is adorable!

@Mrs. Chalk: welcome to our board and the blog! Fellow Pennsylvanian here.

@allison: I hope you see some progress soon!

@Rescuemom10: thinking of you and hoping the baby arrives soon!

@oliviaoblivia: @dagret: @coacheswife123: Thanks, y'all. I hope everything with your new babies is going well! You'll have to show me the ropes once I get there myself.

Thanks EVERYONE! You are all too sweet!

Hope this little girl gets the hint here soon other wise we are getting close to having a Feb. baby. My Birthday is Sat (the 2nd) and everyone keeps saying she is going to come that day. I think they all jinxed me.

@JessiBee: That's really nice of you to offer! I probably will pop in and commiserate a bit

@JessiBee: thanks! It's def looking like she is going to be a Feb baby,

@allison: how you doing?

@lolabee: Thank you. Hopefully soon!!!

Saw the doc today. He was able to strip my membranes today. We will see. So far just lots of cramping. He wants to induce if she is not here by the 6th. I really don't want to be induced so hope she comes on her own before then.

I get horrible reception and Internet at the hospital and will update more later. 34 hrs of labor. Few bumps along the way, and some concerns which led to having a c section but Annabelle Aline graced us with her arrival today. The sweet doll wants to be so much like her mommy she came on my Birthday. Best birthday gift ever. We are exactly 29 yrs and ONE minute apart. We are so blessed and both doing fine.

@Rescuemom10: Hooray! 29 years and 1 minute - hoe cool is that?! I live her name. Congrats!

@Rescuemom10: Congratulations!!

@Rescuemom10: congratulations! so glad everything turned out okay, and what a treat to share a birthday with your sweet little girl!!

Hi! Sorry it's taken me so long to update. Elijah James was born on Feb 2nd! 8 lbs 9 oz, 20.5 inches long. He's incredible.

My labor was intense, long, and exhausting. I'll have to write up a more detailed story, but basically I was in labor for 36 hours, baby crowned for 45 minutes (!), but I was able to accomplish my goal of a natural, med-free birth. I've had a few complications as the result of my long, hard labor, unfortunately. Recovery is a bitch, but I'll make it.

@Rescuemom10: Congratulations! What date is your/her birthday? The 2nd, also?

@allison: OMG, 45 minutes?! You are amazing, mama! Congratulations!

@allison: woo hoo! congrats mama! I love the name elijah! you're a champ! 36 hours!?!

@Mrs. Chalk: i think all the january babies have arrived!
