Don’t Hate Me Because My Labor Was Short

It’s been an exciting day to say the least. After a good night’s sleep last night, my girl decided to come a day early!

This morning my labor started at about 7 am. We got to the hospital at 8:30 and she was born at 10:01. How’s that for a speedy delivery. When I’m a little more rested, I’ll post the play by play for whoever’s interested. It was not without its humorous moments.

But, the girl is here. I can breathe again. We’re both healthy and happy. Thank you, THANK YOU to everyone who prayed for us. God fulfilled those requests in abundance.

Since my kiddos are in Auntie Jamie’s capable hands, I’m going to enjoy a little vacation at the hospital, complete with room service dining and people to push on my belly every few hours.

By the way, congrats to Mary and Amy (of Ohio)! FishBaby weighed in at a hefty 9 pounds, 2 ounces. Send me your addresses so we can send you a FishBaby prize.

  8. Congratulations!

    Glad you both came through it fast and safe.

    What a beautiful baby girl! 🙂

  9. Congratulations!

    Have each of your labors gotten shorter? A nice short labor is an awesome gift, a long labor can leave you worn out to be sure.

    What a pretty little lady. Enjoy your “vacation” at the hospital.

  10. Congratulations! She’s beautiful and we are all happy you both are healthy and well.

  11. Congratulations! Gives me baby fever…

    By this time, your labor should have been short. Your body totally knows what to do now – was your doctor wearing a catcher’s mitt? 🙂

  12. God is so good. Congrats. Take care and don’t rush back to the work that you have waiting. It will wait. Again, Thank you God for a healthy baby and mommie.

  13. Congratulations – such a sweet time as a family when a new little one arrives!

  14. Congratulations!! That is wonderful that everything went so well. Let those nurses pamper you.

  15. I gasped when I saw the picture of your new one…She’s beautiful and looks like a pudge. She wouldn’t be a Fishkid otherwise, right? 🙂

    And, I wouldn’t exactly say your labor was short..the last part of it perhaps, but girl, you did days (weeks even) of labor!

    You are something having this post up already. I’m so glad; it’s an indication, I hope, that you are doing well. I’ll continue to pray for a seemless transition for you, Bryan and all the Fishkids.

    Congrats!!

  18. Congratulations! Glad everything went so well for you! Short labors are great–I was blessed to have one of those, too! Take care!

  19. Congratulations, she is just beautiful!! I missed the weight by one ounce, are you sure there was not an extra ounce in there somewhere, LOL!

    Get plenty of rest and enjoy this time you will be back to reality before you know it.

    Way to go Fishbaby on giving mom a short labor, too.

  20. Congratulations!

    She is so sweet!

    And what a blessing of a short labor!

    Hopefully our little girl will be coming along shortly too! (Help arrives on Wednesday).

  21. Congratulatidons! I am so thankful all went well–and so fast. 🙂 She’s darling!

  22. Congrats! i was only off by one ounce! argh! So glad she is here and Jamie is holding down the fort for you! YAY!! Enjoy your stay in the hospital; I would if I were you!
