"Rocks in my Dryer" is having a cool little meme on her blog. She says: "In honor of Labor Day, it's about...well, labor. And not the kind you get a day off for, either".

I labored with Trinity for only a few hours...it was easy with the ephidural (yep, I'm all about the drugs!). Once I started pushing, she was out in 15 minutes. It was a very easy delivery. But the aftermath was extremely difficult.
ReplyDeletehere is my comment. I came, I read, I commented. Dad and I watched Zorro II last night. We both said the little boy reminded us of Carson. Hee Hee
ReplyDeleteHoly cow!! I looks scary in that pic!! But YOU look amazing!!! SO happy and glowing! =]
ReplyDeleteLisa-
ReplyDeleteICK! In Carson's birth pic I look HORRIBLE!
Cute idea! hope you have a great time in WA!
ReplyDeleteNo drugs? Girl, are you crazy!? This is why I am still single, I am so scared of all this stuff.....that's what I tell myself anyway. You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteSorry, that last one belongs to me, Rachel DeFreese, I am having struggles tonight.
ReplyDeleteNo drugs??? Yikes. After having recently gone through labor, I have a profound respect for women who labor drug free. I was so happy when my epidural came- I told the anesthesiologist he was my hero :). My labor was about 20 hours long and I pushed a little over two hours in the end. I couldn't imagine doing that without an epidural. You go girl!
ReplyDeletethat was totally fun to read! You are so funny! I was catching up on your blog and LOVE your new family pictures! YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL!! One hot mama you are! :)
ReplyDeleteI remember JD's labor! That was very different for me...I am so happy that I could be there for you though! I look wierd in that picture!
ReplyDeleteThe doctor that delivered J.D is Dr. Kevin Herron from Mill Creek Family Practice. Right? LOL Cute story - cuter kids! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou're so brave to go drug-free! I'm not even close to being able to do that!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU KAROLYN!!!
ReplyDeleteI just searched for Whitney Boden's photography site and she doesn't have it anymore (unless she changed it.) I don't have her number either, so I will track that down and give it to you.
ReplyDeleteWow! You are amazing! Carson is adorable about spelling and it will be fun when he starts spelling words so that James doesn't know what he is telling you! What a cutie pie! I agree with Lisa...glowing happy mommy! So precious...and a little tuckered out.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! What a great idea for a meme.
