Jane Elizabeth was born at home on June 20th at 9:39pm. She weighed 8lbs 2oz and was 21 inches long. She was 9 days late. I finally decided that I was not going to go into labor on my own so I had the midwife come break my water to get labor to start. My midwife, Charlotte, came over in the morning and broke my water and nothing happened! No contractions at all! Around noon I started to have a few contractions, but then she had me lay down so they would stop cause she got a call from another mom who was in labor. So she left for that birth and left me with a couple of her assistants, who were amazing! We had a great time chatting and hanging out all afternoon. When Charlotte got back around 6pm we tried to get contractions to start up again. Nothing was happening so they decided to go for a walk and told us to call them if anything started. Funny thing is, as soon as they left at 8pm the contractions started. (It's like the phrase, "a watched pot never boils.") Kendall called Charlotte back and Jane was born soon after they got back. It was a fast intense labor and I was so happy when it was over!
The kids came in right after she was born and met their new little sister. They all fell in love with her instantly!
She is a really good baby and doesn't cry very much at all. We are so happy to have her in our family!
