14. Did you have any complications?
with Becca- No I just lost a lot of blood. When I stood up after having Becca to go to the bathroom for the first time, blood came pouring out of me like a waterfall. The nurse about flipped out, and Nathan almost passed out :)
with Rachel- I had a couple of things that all happened after the birth. I had a velumenous insertion and an acrete placenta. S0 basically the with the first one the umbilical cord was not attached to the placenta, it was hanging on by the blood vessels, so when the doctor went to tug on it to pull out the placenta it just fell off. So I just kept bleeding ( a lot). Then the second one the "acrete placenta" means that my placenta fell apart inside my uterus. The doctor had to litterally reach all the way into the uterus and fish out the brocken peices of the planenta so that I could stop bleeding (really wanted drugs at that point). Everything turned out ok but I did end up having to have a blood transfusion. (sorry for the details) imagine being there! Not pretty! But worth it :)

That was so fun to read. I can't believe all the stuff you had to deal with after Rachel! Crazy. And she was three weeks early but still 8 lb 12 oz? That's amazing! Could your due date have been off?
I've never heard of that "relaxer" thing... pretty cool.
That is so cute! I love that tag...one day ill do it too!
