I've started this post so many times and haven't been able to get it just right! But now that Marjie Mai is 8 weeks old, I thought it was time!!

Mommy was very happy to not have to be induced for a 4th time, as my water broke at home @ 10:40 pm 2 days after my due date. The contractions I was having up to that point were pretty weak, so we were getting ready for bed when it happened. But once that water broke ... all HECK broke loose with the contractions! Jarem and I rushed around quickly getting the older 3 out of bed and into the van to take them to Grandma Lois's.
By the time we arrived at the hospital and was checked at 11:20, I was already dilated to 8 cm. Which meant NO Epidural for me! I nearly cried! Because I carry so high and my sweet babes never drop, the Doc wanted my to start pushing immediately.
Things were progressing as they should until the little one's heart rate dropped drastically and the Doc felt the Baby should be out NOW! So without ANY warning, those blessed Forceps were shoved where things should not be shoved and hooked onto Baby. With the next 2 contractions and the Doc doing his thing, our Marjorie Mai was brought into the world ... 2 hours after my water broke, with NO epidural or Morphine or Demerol ... and NO stitches!
She was perfectly perfect in every way!
Now at 8 weeks she is still perfectly perfect in every way! She has been such a great little baby (knock on wood) I cannot complain! I suppose it's a good way to end ... maybe!
