Current mood: excited
I just wanted to share the great news about a couple of new Mommies!
My best friend of 14 years, Mona, (who was also my bridesmaid in my wedding) finally gave birth last night. After 4 DAYS of labor , baby Koa Robert Anderson was born May 25th at 7:29pm 6 lbs 12oz 19inches! I have been on pins and needles since I got her first text late Thursday night about her going to the hospital. Of course she wasnt "ready" yet so they sent her home. For the last two days I have been receiving texts from her with updates, mostly how the contractions were so horrible she couldnt talk, walk, or do anything. Poor thing couldnt go to the hospital until they were 5 mins apart. But she was a real trooper, Mona style! (for those who know her, know what I mean) she hung in there and the big day finally came last night. I cant wait to see her and her new bundle of joy!
Also, early Sat. morning I got an email from an ex co worker of mine. One of my close ex coworkers (who was also pregnant along with me! Both got pregnant in Hawaii around the same time! and were only a few weeks apart) went into pre-term labor. Frosty (our nickname for her) wasn't due till the end of July, however, her water broke early. Again, I was on pins and needles to hear what the status of her situation was. (At the same time Mona was also in labor) Good news though!!! Frosty too ended up giving birth yesterday to a bouncing baby boy! Kai! He was alittle over 3lbs, but like his mother, is a trooper and last I heard he didnt even need oxygen! He is breathing well on his own and doing great! Same with Frosty.
Wow, two babies in one day! Really makes me start thinking about my own! Baby Mia's big day is just around the corner. She is becoming so active day by day I can never get any rest. Well I will keep you updated on everything as I find out. As for tomorrow I have my 35 week check up, Ill post how it goes!
