3 DAYS AFTER MY LAST POST...

Brody Kim Seward


Brody arrived! He was born May 14th 2011 at 3:41 pm weighing in at 7lbs 12 ounces and 20 inches long! He is the sweetest boy! I went in for a regular check-up on Friday the 13th and my BP was horrible! So the DR said she would deliver me. I went in Friday night and then they started me the following morning. Labor was awful! After I was dilated to a 5 I decided I couldn't take the pain anymore and i wanted an epidural. And what happens? He can't seem to hit the right spot to give me one. By then I was in so much pain I thought I was gonna die! After I had dilated to an 8 I told them to find someone else to give me pain med...and what happens? That guy couldn't do it either! Plus he missed the spot he was suppose to go and went in further which they call something but I can't remember. After he was done messing up my back I knew it was time to push and I couldn't wait to get him out! The pain was almost unbearable. I told them I had to push and she said to give her a little push...right after she told me to stop and ran out of the room to get the Dr...and two pushes later Brody arrived! He is perfectly healthy minus a little Jaundice. He is the perfect addition to our family...and the last!

16 days and counting...and I'm HUGE!

I have officially started a countdown for my pregnancy. I can't believe I have made it as far as I have! Parker was born 5 weeks early and stayed in the hospital for about 2 weeks before he got to come home. The twins were also born 34 weeks and 5 days early. Max stayed in for about two weeks but Maddy came home sooner. I assumed I would be having this last baby around the 5 week early mark also.... but I have since passed that! The family was convinced he would be here in April...but then it came and went. Next they thought the first of May...well now were a week and a half into May! If I don't have him before May 27th then this will be the day I will have him! Crossing my fingers he comes a little sooner. I am so swollen! Half my shoes don't fit because my feet are so fat, and I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring in a few months. I think the little guy has finally dropped though..seeing I pee every 5 min and he occasionally hits my pelvic bone! He moves a ton...sometimes to much! But I am ready or well I guess maybe I'm not! Either way I have 16 days. Hopefully less.
