William Reid arrives at last :)

Studying up for mama's VBAC!

Almost!!!

Imitation is the best form of flattery, right?

It's a great day for an induction!

This was my "natural' birth experience!
I also believe it was my last smile as my

CRAZY contractions started shortly after

the pitocin started. After 10 hours of long

hard labor I opted for an epidural...

Will, my nurse and my doctor were extremly

relieved that my mood was on the upswing,

in fact my doctor mentioned, as I began to push,

that I might be the first patient to ever

"laugh" her baby out, I nearly did!

The whole experience was AMAZING,

something I will never forget.

In all of his glory :)

Unlike my first experience, this time I was

able to hold and nurse my baby immediatley :)

Teagan gets her first glimpse :)

And she's moved on to goofing off!

Suddenly our baby girl is a giant!

First family portrait, notice how gaunt

and exhausted Will "the doula" Schaffarzick is!

Swaddling!
