Two years ago today, I gave birth to my baby Anna! What an experience! It was by far my very BEST labor and delivery... every thing I hoped and wished for in a labor! It was planned (I was induced because my doctor was moving to Australia:)), my mom was there and last but not least I got an epidural!!
I arrived at the hospital around 7am and checked in. They immediately started an IV and started me on some pitocin. My doctor arrived and called the epidural guy in- he immediately started an epidural and everything went numb! Hallelujah- that is everything I wanted!! After giving birth to 2 children with no drugs, I knew what it was like and wanted no part of the it!! The only exciting part of the entire labor was when my blood pressure dropped and they came rushing in to give me some medicine to fix it... I was out of it and don't really remember it (I guess that was part of the problem!!)
Anna was born at 4:00. She was the longest labor- but if I had to do it again- I would do it that way again, and again! Sometimes I wish I could go back to redeliver my other kids having the epidural!! I sat up in bed, watched TV and talked and laughed with my family. She was 8 pounds 15 ounces- not a small baby!!
While in labor- I had the best nurse! I wanted to take her home with me. We all took bets on how big the baby would be- the nurse guessed 8.5 pounds- I thought she was crazy! (I wanted her to be wrong!!) I was not interested in delivering that big of a baby- I was wrong and she was right!! I delivered my biggest baby- a baby girl named Anna Loraine.
Now, here she is! She is now 2 and acts just like a 2 year old should act! She is beautiful, happy, and so sweet! She loves her "sissy", babies, all animals and doing everything her big brother and sister are doing. She doesn't like being left alone or being told no! Anna is the third child- which I believe has the "Kacy" syndrome- not talking! Anna can say about 10 words (mommy, daddy, nana, papa, sissy, bubby, meowmeow, woof, Anna, Isome, Isit, bite, see, me, mine, nightnight, byebye, hi). She does know some sign language, but only uses it when she wants!!Happy Birthday to my sweet baby! I love you!

She's so gorgeous!
I have to say I think you're nuts for wanting to redeliver your other 2 though LOL! And I'm one of those brats that had epi's with all 3 and each of them were in my arms after 3 or 4 pushes. (Layton was about 2 pushes)And I still think you're nuts! ;)
And it seems like we talked about this before, but mine and Kass' middle name is Lorraine!
