Welcome baby James Liam!

Brittany and Mike welcomed their little boy James on Sept 2nd. She went into labor on Labor Day so she says her son has a real sense of humor. She was one week past her due date and apparently she and Mike gave baby James a "talkin' to" the night before and explained how it would be really nice if he decided to come out and how it would even be funny to be born on Labor Day. Well, I guess the womb listens, because the next day contractions started! Little James wasn't born on Labor Day though, no siree, because Brittany had a 31 hour labor. She did it! Long labors can be very difficult but she had a lot of support from Mike and from her mother who had all five of her children naturally. Breastfeeding has been a piece of cake!!




Congratulations Brittany and Mike!

Welcome baby Sariah!!

I just got the good news from Frank that baby Sariah is here! Here are his words: "Saraiah Marie was born on September 6 at 5:50 am, She weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz. and she was 19 1/2 inches long. Both baby and momma are doing great! I also want to mention how proud I am of my wife Tavi, she labored for about 27 hours without using any artificial induction methods and no drugs at all, 100% natural! San Antonio Hospital respected our wishes according to our birth plan and the nurses were great. Another thing I want to mention im proud of is that Saraiah was smiling before she was 24 hour old. Thank you to everybody who has been praying for us and to those who have showered our baby with gifts. God Bless"




Congratulations Tavi and Frank! She's beautiful!

Danielle had her homebirth twins!

She is so beautiful I can't even stand it. Here is the slideshow of the birth.

Welcome baby Ethan James!

Alissa and Tim have their baby boy Ethan James! He weighed 6lbs 10oz and is 19 inches long. He's a good nurser according to mom and she's doing great! Alissa says she had a lot of back labor for 8 hours, but that counterpressure from Tim helped a lot. She also had great support from her mother who had her children naturally. Check out this special guy. I love the one where he's on her chest after birth. So beautiful.

Noah smiles!

Sonja sent me this pic of Noah at 6 weeks with his first big smile, and it made me smile too!!!

Noah is a sweet little guy who enjoys all the wonderful things that babies do. Principally mama's boobies. He talks and coos to them. It's rather cute and I could hear him over the phone doing this. Forget the BR'Us registery, all they need is warm mama's milk and a chest to fall asleep on afterward. Ok maybe a diaper :)

Baby Justin

Here is baby Justin! Isn't he precious! Born on 8-8-08 weighing 8lbs 8oz. Now that's some kind of lucky numbers if I've ever seen 'em. Lina and Deanne both had similar labors which doesn't happen too often in the same class. Both were pretty quick for first time moms. Tavi, you're next!

Baby Desmond Russell

Deanne just sent me this pic of baby Desmond :) He's got red hair! And he's a Superstar indeed :) Deanne's nurses were so impressed with her, she said that three of them said they're going to take Bradley with their own kids. I told Deanne that I think she's found her sport. He he! Congratulations Deanne and Fred!
