Default I had my baby three weeks early! (and enable me!)
Shwew, what a whirlwind of the past week.

I wasn't due until April 30.

On April 11 (monday) I had a sonogram because I have gestational diabetes. My fluid was low so they sent me to L&D to make sure I hadn't ruptured. I hadn't. They monitored and sent me home. That night at 10PM my water DEFINITELY broke and at 1:23 am (yes just three hours later) ELIJAH MATTHEW was born.

I had the birth I wanted but didn't get with the other two- completely natural from start to finish.

He was 6lbs 6 oz and 19 inches long which amazes me since he was three weeks early and bigger than my other two.

We're slowly adjusting. He's nursing like a champ and loves to be worn. He's cloth diapered and I feel all earthy momma!

Now.....off to buy all those pregnancy kits I was too superstitious to buy when pregnant and who wants to enable me to baby boy kits??????

Congratulations!! Same stats as my daughter, also 3 weeks early and 6.6 pounds but she was 19.5 inches. Of course, that was 10 years ago...

Have fun scrapping all those pictures.
