Birthing Class Reunion

So Andrew and I took a Birthing Class back in November. It was really good, we had a cool black lady named Jay as our teacher and she was awesome. The class was over 2 Saturdays for the whole day. We really enjoyed it, and were glad we took the class because we learned so much. And now looking back it did really help us when labour came, especially in the knowledge department just knowing what was going on and what my options were. So on February 12th, all of us minus one couple got together with our babes for a little reunion. It was really great to see all the babies and talk about each of our experiences. One of the girls had to have an emergency C-Section, and then her baby was in the NICU for 5 days, (including Christmas Day), awww. Her baby is doing good now though. One girl had a horror story with delivering the placenta, she had 3 people reach inside to try and pull it out, and one doctor ripped a chunk off! She ended up being put under so they could get it out and lost 2 litres of blood! Talk about scary! One girl had like a 3 hour delivery. One girl had an epidural and morphine with a pretty short labor. And one girl had the longest labor of all of them, 29 hours ( that one was me. ) Here is a picture of us girls with our babies!
Here are the babies in order of when they were born...
First is: Isla
Olivia:
Walker: (the only boy)
Jayna:
Isabella:

Jayna and Walker were sharing some love:

It was so fun to get together and to see Jayna with other babies, it was the first time she was awake and around little ones the same age. It's going to be neat to keep in touch and see how all our kids grow up!
