She told me that I have such easy, predictable labor/deliveries that the doctor didnt want me to go too fast because he wanted to just zip over here on his lunch hour…I KID YOU NOT….

Like I was there to make HIS life easier….

But I did, and he was right, one minute a 4 and the next second a 10 and no labor pains – a push and we met William.

The only difference with this one as opposed to the other 2 was that at about 6 months of pg, I was done…it wasnt fun anymore and I wanted to meet my new little person!

Precious – PRECIOUS post!

Both the pregnancy comments and the parenting comments. I can’t wait to hear you tell your story throughout this adventure!

I am so glad that I have no uterus. :)

Okay–so next time call me and I’ll watch the boys when you have your OB appointment. I was stressed just reading it! ;)

My third pregnancy was my best~~~easiest delivery! One push and he was out!! And he was my biggest! Oh, if they all could be that easy. I think by number three I was way more relaxed and by number four I knew how fast it would go, how much I would miss feeling the baby grow inside, and so I treasured and pondered my pregnancy more.

My first pregnancy I recorded EVERYTHING!!!! I wrote in a journal EVERYDAY. I wrote long prayers. By number 4 the poor child still doesn’t have a pregnancy journal or a baby book.

My first I cleaned. I had a really clean house all the time. By the third and fourth. Clean is defined as you can walk into the living room and down the hall without tripping. Yep, that’s a good day.

OH and don’t forget the NAPS!!! With my first I took naps ALL the time. Glorious uninterrupted peaceful naps! By number three and four naps just didn’t happen.

Oh, I’ve got another one. Jonathan HELPED with EVERYTHING my first pregnancy. He wouldn’t let me carry the groceries in, threw a fit when I started painting the living room, and then when the baby was born he was up with me helping every night. In all fairness, he spoiled me rotten. By number four….let’s just say I was on my own carrying the groceries and he only did night shifts Friday nights. :)

p.s.- you still read pregnancy books, just not EVERY book!
