While cleaning out my desk today I found this note from my midwife and thought I'd record for all time.
Weight gain -- Hrs of Labor -- Min. of pushing -- Arrival -- Weight
Luke: 47 lbs. 6.10 79min 10:19PM 7lb 4oz
Charlotte: 40 lbs. 1.53 8min 4:43pm 6lb 8oz
William: 43lbs 2.20 22min 8:12AM 8lb4oz
Savannah 31lbs 2.08 7min 8:25AM 7lb6oz
There is so much to each story - for example the official records for Savannah might state "2 hours" of labor - but Calyn and I can attest it was HOURS of off and on - at least it felt like it. About 5 hours total of weirdly & wickedly & annoyingly off and on labor.
And let's discuss the fact that I was "eating for two" with Lucas. Sheesh! 50 lbs practically - dang girl! Glad to see I finally learned I was in fact eating for "one and a raspberry" or "one and a cantaloupe" depending on the trimester - good god - finally glad I learned that.
Oh sweet, sweet baby loves. You are all just awesome.........(when not trying to kill me).
xo, Momma

Did you notice the pattern? The boys are the most weight gain, longest labor, and longest pushing.
Girls rule!! :-)
