Tailgating the Birth


As many of you know, my pregnancy with Neve was a bit of a stressful one with multiple surprises-she caused a lot of drama for her mama. This sequence was not to be broken with her birth.

Because she was breech (sigh), we scheduled a c-section for one week before her due date: September 5. I had been joking with everyone that though I would have a baby, I would not celebrate Labor Day with any labor.

On Friday, September 2, I was active at work trying to get some last minute details wrapped up, however, baby was not active at all. I went out for a big lunch. I drank a pop. I ate a cookie (okay, three). I laid down in my cubicle on my right side, my left side, and my back. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. NOTHING. I decided to call the doc.

When Dr. Shah (He-Shah) called me back, I was expecting to have him say something like, "Well try to record her movement each hour, and call me back tomorrow if you are still concerned." No-no. He said, "Since you are so close, why don't you just come in, and we'll do this tonight." "This" being, extract your baby.

Of course Sean was in a meeting with Dean Crawford, so I had to call Taylor and Shrek to track him down. It was a good thing he got on the move, because I talked to Dr. Shah around 1:30, and Neve Erin Kassen was born at 4:57 p.m.--a happy and healthy 7 pounds 9 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long. Hooray!!!!!!!!!!

Taylor and Shrek had done their part as well, rallying the troops, and as promised on multiple occasions, they tailgated the birth. Epic.

Big Girl Bed



This is Lydia's second night in her big girl bed! I thought it was going to be this traumatic transition, but she has been great with it. I (so creepily) have been sneaking in to take pics:)
