Ready to start! I don't know why but for some reason I was more freaked out this time than last time. I really had the shakes. It was partially from being cold and maybe even more from nerves. I don't know why I had that reaction, but I got through it. The clear drape thing did not pan out. It was the wrong type of drape and it was opaque instead of clear. I did not mind, though, since I did end up with lots of great photos and video.
And here are some pics of the birth:
And a couple of newborn Mariele:
Don't ask me why, but I was really curious about seeing my placenta (I'm weird, I know). Didn't get to see it last time. So here is the placenta in all it's glory!
I have many more pictures to share! But it is time for Mariele to wake up and eat. And I need to go spend some fun time with my family this evening. So stay tuned for part 2 of the pics, beginning with the recovery room.

Thanks so much for posting the pictures! You are so beautiful and pregnancy really suits you. Mariele is so beautiful and I can't wait to see lots more!
Oh, and that placenta pic kind of freaked me out! Remind me not to take a pic of mine!
Congratulations! She looks just perfect! Oh, after the placenta came out, Brad totally wasn't expecting it and about threw up. He said it looked like a big pile of spare ribs. I thought it was hilarious that he made it through the birth and everything just fine but the placenta freaked him out! Anyways, i hope you are getting enough rest and i can't wait to see more pics!
Oh she is just darling!! I LOVE the birth pics. It still amazes me that those little babies are really in our tummies!!! So glad she is here and cant wait to see more pics! BTW I was SO interested in my placenta! I held it and looked at it after Konnor was born, and forgot to after cole, and then was like "Dang it!! I forgot to look at it this time!" It just all amazes me so much!
Beautiful baby! Congratulations! I hope you're feeling well!
