Cutting the cord

After Darcy was born, Shane made sure to remind the midwife that he wanted nothing to do with the cord. My mom cut Oliver's cord, Marisa cut Lily's. The midwife, unphased, said "Ok, we'll just have Jessica cut it then." I had never considered cutting the cord, but it was a very cool experience! If any of you moms don't have willing volunteers to cut the cord, I highly recommend doing it yourself!

Welcome, Darcy Rose!

Well we had our induction date all set up for Friday May 6, but Darcy surprised us and I went into labor on my own Tuesday night! Darcy was born at 4:06am, a mere hour after we arrived at the hospital! We're so happy to have her here. It is already extremely overwhelming with the 3 little ones, but our love for them blinds us to the sleep and stress associated with our little Bedlamites.


Welcome to the world, Darcy Rose!
