Travis’ Birth Story

Amanda Baby, Events, Photos 2 Comments »

Again I have not had time to blog about my experiences. Quick run down, (according to my dr) I pushed for 22 minutes for a total of 12 pushes. 3 to get him down because he kept going up and down, 8 to get his head out and 1 to finish him off. I rec’d oxygen during the pushing which helped a lot and immediately after he arrived they placed his slimy beautiful body right on my chest! I will take these pictures right up until they took him from me. Enjoy!

25 hours of labor… Is No Joke

Amanda Events, Movies No Comments »

So I have not had anytime to blog about my experiences during labor yet, but everyone keeps asking to see pics so I decided to post these first. A lot of these pictures I am not to fond of but it does give you an idea of anything I went through in those 25 hours. Enjoy!

This picture was taken yesterday right before we went into the hospital. I got really emotional thinking that it could be the last one, but thankfully it wasn’t. I am going to try to take pics every few days to see if my belly continues to grow. I swear some days it looks and feels bigger than others!
