HI AUNTIES!!!!

Ok. So Tuesday was my due date and I was kind of bummed. I came home from work early, thinking I would just take a nap and pretty soon my due date would be over, and I could go on about the business of being SUPER pregnant.

I got home from work around 2 pm and started having a couple of random contractions. I called Mark at 4 and told him I was having a few, nothing major, but that he should get home so we can go vote so I can go to bed.

He pulled into the driveway at 5pm, right as my water broke! Like, BROOOOKE! All over the place! Mark got in the house and I was standing there in the hall, probably looking VERY confused.

Then, it got INTENSE! Contractions 3-4 minutes apart, and then 2 minutes, and then right on top of one another. We called the midwife. She got there pretty quickly. I was basically ready to start pushing after she had only been there about half an hour.

Mark and Molly were AMAZING! They were like, the Super human Duo! Molly was running up and down the stairs, helping Mark get the pool filled up at the same time as she was making casserole, so everyone would have dinner! hahaha!

They BARELY got the pool filled up, I jumped in, pushed FOUR times, and the little guy SHOT out (just like you said, Stella!) at 7:55pm! SOOOOOOOOOOOOO QUICK!

I couldn't believe how quickly it all happened and I was SO happy to be in my house. My midwives were amazing and Mark and Molly were like, birth super heros. I'm not even kidding.

So, I bet you wanna see some photos now, eh? Here's a few.

Mom, Dad and Baby X (yeah, yeah, he still doesn't have a name) a few minutes after he swam out:



EIGHT POUNDS AND SIX OUNCES! WOAH BABY!







I'm so hot.


Molly is the BEST big sister!!!!

HAHHA! Well, all of the names we picked just don't seem to fit him!!!

The funny thing is that the name we like the best is Cole, and it seems to really fit him.

But...um...tha t's weird.

Aw, Nicole he's BEAUTIFUL!!! ;) What a nice size, Blake was 8lbs 12oz and we were very pleased ! ;)

I'm so glad to hear that you didn't have to go past your due date (lol) and that your birth experience was so incredible! ;D Looks like everyone is enjoying him...and darling you LOOK GREAT for just pushing that big peanut out, don't be so hard on yourself!!! :D ;)

Enjoy him, every minute, they grow sooooooooo friggin fast!!! ;) :-*

Edited to add: I wanted to do the water birth thing too, but isn't "available" in hospitals here, STUPID! >:( Could have done it at home, but a midwife runs $4,000+ here, couldn't afford it  :P

haahahaha, yes! We had him in a kiddie pool. It was really awesome. The water REALLY helped with the pain, and it really helped me not tear.

Thanks, ladies! I'll get more pics up as soon as I can!

Awww he's beautiful! Congrats ;D

BTW you totally lied to me. You said you'd be pregnant forever. :P

AAwwwwww! He is incredible, Nicole. Glad everything went well for you. You keep on listening to the old ladies like me and you'll do just fine, LOL.
BTW, I don't think Cole is too wierd. I know of one family with Huntzworth (boy), Skeeter (boy), Dweeble (boy)Prenzel (girl) and Pritty (girl). Now that's weird!
Stella

Its weird cuz my name is Nicole and lots of people call me Cole! hahha!

"Hi, I'm Nicole. This is my son, Cole."

Also, my nieces and nephews all call me Aunt Cole.

Its just...I don't know. Weird.

haahahaha, yes! We had him in a kiddie pool.

Well, HELLO!  Where else are you going to have a baby?   :D

He is gorgeous, and if the name Cole fits him I say you should go for it!  Maybe Colton?

Congrats! He's adorable! What a cutie! I agree with the statement that was made about how many babies are named after the dad. If he looks like a Cole, then he probably is one, y'know? What happened to Tristan? He just didn't look like one?
