This pregnancy was, by far, Miranda's best of the three. The labor...well, that's a different story. Miranda's platelet levels in her blood were very low. Platelets cause blood to clot; when the platelet count is low, the doctors worry about too much bleeding. Becuase epidurals have a blood thinning characteristic, the anesthesiologist refused to give Miranda an epidural.
Miranda has never had any intention of delivering a baby "au naturale", but she was a real trooper and got through the delivery process without even yelling at me once!! I am very blessed to have her as my eternal companion!! I also now have a MUCH greater appreciation of what women go through to perpetuate the human family! Miranda did say that she would have made a "crappy pioneer woman". Either way, she did great.
London and Kennedy have been great with their new baby sister - they love her so much!

Way to get through it! You were so brave. I had kind of a similar experience. It's amazing how different it was than I expected. Nice job not yelling at Regan. =o) I thought Ben was going to die just from seeing me struggle - I didn't dare say anything to make him worry more. =o)
I hope Baylee is still sleeping well for you - that makes THE difference. Congrats!
