Is it Baby Time? Labor Day Post 7


Introducing Miranda Kathryn -
born at 12:05 p.m.
9 lbs 5.6 oz
21" long

Labor got pretty difficult for awhile, probably around 10:30 or so. Grant was my awesome support and helped me focus on relaxing through some pretty brutal contractions.  I ended up pushing for about 15 minutes.  Wow, was that intense. No tears or anything, praise God!  

I'll probably write a more detailed birth story sometime soon, but for now, all is well, Miranda is beautiful and perfect, and I'm feeling very good, thankful for some Motrin for those afterbirth pains.

  4. Congratulations to Miranda, Grant, Rebekah, Corban, Marissa, Annika, Ellia and Monty. She is absolutely beautiful, although I must admit Rebekah I have no idea how you concealed a 9 pound baby in that belly. We can't wait to meet her and welcome her. Blessings, love, health and happiness to you all.
