Giggles

I was looking through pictures to pick some for Princess's birthday post. I came across these picture that sum up her birth perfectly. I didn't remember seeing these, but when I did, I laughed. I sure got a giggle out of them.

Me. Pregnant & laboring.

There's a baby, and off we go!

Princess was born in the same hospital that Octomom had her babies (a few years later). They aren't very modern there- you were screened in one room, labored in another, delivered in a third, recovered in a fourth, and then had a fifth room until you went home. I was convinced from the start that I was going to have her in the labor room. The labor room was a wall, a foot and a half, the bed, and another foot and a half, then the wall. There was a tiny bathroom about the size of a closet. I asked the nurse if anyone had delivered in the labor room and she told me it didn't happen very often. Needless to say, the Doctor didn't listen and I had that baby (just about grabbed by my hubby), in the labor room. They rushed us to delivery to weigh her (I thought they had the wrong weight- 6lbs, 6oz). Then off to recovery. Princess is also the only baby that my Mom missed her birth, by about an hour. She was also my smallest baby, and the only girl.
