Alright I am finally getting around to filling in the details of Rory's arrival. I had the best of intentions to keep updating as the day progressed but things got a little bit harder after my last post so here is what happened.
I DID IT NATURAL WITH NO PAIN MEDICINE AT ALL!!!!
I could never have done it without my amazing friend Lindsey. When I decided to try and do this naturally I knew I needed a labor coach that would help me and the first person I thought of was my best friend. All the books say not to use your husband because they don't want to see you in pain and boy were they right. At noon I was ready to give up and get my
epidural.
Jerame called Lindsey to give her an update and she came running over. I think it took her ten minutes, must be a record. Anyway she encouraged me to keep trying. With her and
Jerame's encouragement I stayed in the zone and made it all the way. Holy cow it hurt but I survived and happy I did it:)
Focused and concentrating on my breathing.
Here she is. Look at that face.
I survived with a smile on my face:)
Rory Carolann Holbrook Schloss
Time: 4:56 pm
Weight: 7 lbs 4 oz
Length: 20 in
Look at all of that hair. I think she looks the most like Kennedy. She is super petite but totally has my nose just like the other girls. She has big hands with long fingers. I am so very happy she is finally here.
The girls got to come to the hospital and see her. They were so excited and so cute with her.
Here we are our new family of 7!!

And I'm shocked that Dandi didn't already do so, but I welcome you to the club of naturally delivering mothers. (there isn't really a club, but Dandi REALLY thinks there is and that you get some invisible badge).
