She sure was big! My Ella was only 6lb 11oz. Everyone at the hospital thought she was a premie because they are used to such bigger babies. I ended up with a c-section and the surgeon said if we had any more to just schedule another section. He really had no good reason for why I had such problems. I'm just thankful that the hospital up here doesn't use pitocin, so Ella wasn't being forced out when she obviously wouldn't fit.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015659430842427691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469153399204920499.post-55754910691346912632009-04-30T00:08:00.000-04:002009-04-30T00:08:00.000-04:00As I was interacting with folks I couldn't figure ...As I was interacting with folks I couldn't figure out why they were looking at me funny! Then I remembered and yes, they were looking at my head! It was pretty interesting seeing the puzzled looks. It was good to first wear it on a Wed. more casual, fellowship, children's programs, choir and adult Bible study. <br /><br />And our Youth Pastor's wife delivered a baby girl after a very long time of laboring, I am excited to hear her story. I'm assuming that it was a vag. birth - I found a text from this morning odd, as I never experienced anything like this, but the text said she was at 10cm but needed more pressure, and it would be another 3-5 hours. Man, when I heard the magic number, I knew I was in the home stretch and there'd be a babe in my arms within a half hour! I feel for you gals who labor forever. Makes that little one all the more precious!! This new little one came weighing in at 8lb 15 oz! That's a big baby, my twins only weighed 8-4 together!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469153399204920499.post-38543633346329620632009-04-29T17:53:00.000-04:002009-04-29T17:53:00.000-04:00Don't let them push you around.

But don't worry too much, most people likely won't even comment :) At least Canadians don't :)<br /><br />Only 1 in 50 over 24 hours? Gee I guess I'm not normal -haha. It took us forever to get pregnant, had a rough time and then I laboured for 27 1/2 hours at 2-5minutes apart for the whole time. Ella never dropped, even though she was in the right position.Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15015659430842427691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1469153399204920499.post-36367651550729793012009-04-29T15:22:00.000-04:002009-04-29T15:22:00.000-04:00Great post!

I'm going to be brave, and where my covering tonight at church! Hubby and I were out on Friday and ran into a couple different people from church, I was wearing my cover!!! I'll go for it tonight, I'm sure it will be fine, because I'm confident that it is what my Lord wants for me!<br /><br />On a side note - I am very impatiently waiting the arrival of our Youth Pastor's baby - his wife is at 41 weeks today and has been laboring since yesterday afternoon! I just read that only 2 in 10 women labor for more than 12 hrs. and 1 in 50 for more than 24 hours, for a first baby... She's definately on the opposite side of normal from me! For-ever I prayed that they become pregnant, took forever. Then when they did, I've prayed for health of the mom and baby, an on time delivery and one that was not too terribly long, well, this little baby was breech, so they flipped it, which worked, but I think that it has caused a longer labor, since the baby wasn't pushing down for weeks on end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
