Yep, it's real, I have used Vistaprint many times, and they always have free stuff, just gotta watch the shipping, even though they throw multiple items in the same box for shipping, they will charge you shipping for each additional item, so it can add up fast. I actually have a $50 gift card for them I was saving to buy baby announcements

So do you have any new Ian pictures

Let me go see what pictures I can find.
Here he is getting his first bath. DH took the pic. and that is why it is sideways lol.

WOOO WHOOOOO Rcenter!!! What an amazing story! I am so happy for you guys! I hope we ALL can have such a speedy labor and delivery! Sounds like you are made for making babies!
Shane is WAY cute and so perfect- what a blessing and miracle! LOVE the bath pic!

Funny you should mention the water breaking (and the continued leaking!) I had to wear a big ol sanitary pad to the hospital to keep up with the mess!


Now I am impatiently waiting for a few more "Im in labor" or "I finally delivered" stories from a few special ladies here!

Rcentner, CONGRATZ!!! He is soooo CUTE!!

I just got back from the doc and apparently I shouldn't be too far behind you. I'm 2 cm dialated, 50% effaced, cervix is soft and 'forward' (not sure what that means but it was good apparently) and Toby's head is right up against my cervix. I think I may have hit a record though when they were doing the non-stress test. I had an eight minute contraction. BHs are just soooo much fun... It literally topped out the gaudge then went up and down in the top third of the scale for the next sevenish minutes before finally ending.

Congrats rcentner!

I sure hope that we all have such a great experience!

This thread is going to be so quiet in the next few weeks, all you lovely ladies having your adorable babies!

Congrats rcentner!! he is soo cute and tiny!

i wish for a delivery like yours - don't care about no pain meds (I'm allergic to nubain!) because i sure don't want another c-section. i'm hoping my water gushes, and i go so fast that they don't have time to do a section!

Well guys, I'm finally able to update. I was woken up at midnight with painful contractions, finally got up at 12:45 to take a shower, and went to the bathroom where I had light early period like spotting. So I stayed up for several hours just letting them go, thinking they would stop like all the others. Finally layed down because it was more comfortable, but the pain was BAD. So hubby got up at 4am, shoved me in the car and we went to the Hospital. They checked me and I was only 4CM, but I was in active labor, so they admitted me. I walked the halls for a while, then came back and continued to labor, and eventually took some IV pain reliever. Then around noon I couldn't take it anymore and asked for the Epidural, but Lukes heart rate dropped for a few minutes, and they finally got it back up, but they delayed the epidural as they wanted my doc to break my water and put and inturnal censor on Luke first, so we had to wait for my doctor to get a chance to come over. After all that it took the epidural (happy Juice) doctor a couple hours to get to me. They then checked me before the epidural and I was 6 cm. After the epidural I was able to nap for a while, and now I'm awake and on Pitocin because my contractions slowed, but they seem to be getting a good pattern now. Blood pressure is excelent. Next check will be when the nurse shift change happens. But I think he probably won't be here until early morning on Friday the 13th!!! LOL. I will update as soon as I can. Happy I hope you get going too, maybe we can share baby birthdays!
