Libby’s birth starts about a week before she was born. On Tuesday, September 2, I had a bit of spotting, I was 37 weeks 2 days. I called my Mom and let her know that she might want to come out to Utah a day earlier than she had originally planned. [...]

Starting Saturday, June 5, I’d been having contractions. I’d have them, then go to bed and they’d stop. Monday night Jeremy and I did everything (and I mean everything) we could to get this kiddo here, but nothing was working…not even causing 1 contraction! I was a bit disappointed.

I’ve decided that perhaps I should start at the beginning. Hubby and I had tried for a year on our own to become parents before finally breaking down and using Clomid. For most people Clomid only results in one baby. But since I [...]

I was due around November 7. At around 5 1/2 months, I’m starting to have some problems with my hands and wrists. I’m told that I have pregnancy induced carpal tunnel and an unusual condition which caused electrolytes to settle into the joints of my fingers. The fluid retention was also [...]

I was teaching classes when the contractions started. That was pretty standard. They had been a fairly frequent visitor for weeks now, but the difference was that day they didn’t stop after a few hours or a lot of extra water. At the end of the day, after we got the students onto their [...]
