I went to the hospital on Sunday for a headache and creeping up blood pressure. Because I also had Covid symptoms I had to wait outside until the Covid room was ready (got an IV placed outside, that was odd). Almost as soon as I got into the room, my OB started the induction process. That was around 8PM.

Nothing was too eventful. I had some bad contractions but I was able to “rest” until they broke my water at 4:40ish AM. Well AS SOON as they did that, my labor went full force! I felt the need to push, and before the anesthesiologist could show up, I was pushing out a baby! I never ever expected to give birth without pain meds! Another thing I didn’t need: a mag drip! No feeling like I was literally burning in hell like I did with Oliver & Elliott!

Oh, and we broke the record for how many times an umbilical cord was wrapped around the neck that this particular provider delivered. 5 times wrapped around her neck! But she was fine!

And now for the statistics.

Born at 5:18AM.

This baby girl came out weighing 🥁

6lbs 3oz!! At 38 weeks!

(Aarem at 40 weeks: 5lbs 11oz

Oliver at 29 weeks: 2lbs 1oz

Elliott at 35w2d: 5 lbs oz).

-Half a pound bigger than Aarem.

-3x Oliver’s weight.

-Over a pound bigger than Elliott.

Welcome to the family, Indie Leeann!
