They say everything happens the way it shoul in its own time, etc. Well you are proof of that ..I am too sandy
ReplyDeleteYou do realize that your list is going to tick a lot of poor women off because they had 54 hour labors, had cravings that were so weird even their doctors thought they were aliens and experienced morning sickness that would have rivaled the eruption of Vesuvius! LOL. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteMy TT this week is 13 Things I DIDN'T like about "the good old days" - kind of the opposite of my normal nostalgia posts.
After adopting 4, I unexpectedly got pregnant when I was 37. I wasn't so lucky to have a pregnancy as easy as yours, but it was well worth it!
ReplyDeleteI've heard it happens a lot, even one of my cousins after their second adoption she got pregnant after being told it would never hppen.
ReplyDeleteDiva, my blog isn't too popular yet so I might get lucky!
ReplyDeleteHow is your Rottweiler getting along with your baby? Our female Rottweiler is like a second mom to our daughter, who is now five, but our male Yorkie hasn't ever quite overcome his jealousy. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a dream pregnancy and delivery. Yeah!
Why don't you link up after the fact? I have people who link up to my Making Your Home Sing Monday meme the day after or even the day after that!
ReplyDeleteFor some big links, like Not Me Monday or Works For Me Wednesday, people are still reading the links days later. So link up, girl!
That said....um.....I have no kind words for you, lol!
Your first try? No morning sickness? No stretch marks or cravings? Girl?????
I want you to have another baby right now, just because I want to see if it's any different or if you're just lucky, lol!
Awesome job! I'm glad it was such a stree free time for you! :)
ReplyDeleteI went painkiller free with both deliveries -- and had back labor with the second. Yowch. That hurt.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a great thing to brag about. It's not easy to do without the extra help of an epidural.
Librarian~I don't think our rottie has really accepted the baby yet. He's never tried to harm him & he gets a few licks on him but otherwise he doesn't seem to care. He just knows he's not the center of attention anymore.
ReplyDeletemom~if it makes you feel any better I still had 15 pounds to lose as of that posting; as of this posting I now have 21 to lose.
I honestly never thought of linking up late LOL I will have to remember that.
Tamy~she who keeps me motivated to blog :-)
ReplyDeleteSusan~I do feel pretty proud of myself. Really the worst pain was the last 2 pushes, you know when the baby is right there & everyone's yelling "keep pushing". I really just wanted someone to pull him out so I could take a nap LOL
