Aslynn’s due date is one week from today! Mr. Quaid decided he wanted to come two weeks early. Aslynn started having contractions the day before while she was working. At 4:30 AM the next day she began having really consistent contractions. A few hours later she woke Christopher up. (She is the nicest wife ever for letting him […]

Brandi’s water broke at home on Saturday morning. They cleaned up and headed to the hospital in the early afternoon. When they got to the hospital, Brandi still hadn’t started having contractions so they decided to start her on pitocin. Several hours later she got her epidural and the waiting game started. She made slow progress […]

At my last prenatal check up, I was 38 weeks. I was dilated to 4cm, 70% effaced and the doctor stripped my membranes. Everyone thought I’d be in labor within a few hours for sure, including the doctors. Contractions came and went the next few days and I lost my plug but it wasn’t until […]

Lindsie and Alek were both born very early so when Lindsie was progressing so well, we all had high hopes that baby Jenson would come early too. He even was surprising the doctors with his overdue entrance! Finally at 40+ weeks and 4cm dilated, Lindsie was induced. She went in for a check-up on Monday and the doctor […]

Jenna and Addison patiently waited 40 weeks and a few days for the arrival of their sweet baby boy. Finally after a few days past her due date, she went in to be induced. On Tuesday evening they called to make an appointment. They were asked to come in at 10:00pm. I met them at […]

My wake up call came at 4:00 AM, but Jodi’s was much earlier. Labor started at 1:30 AM and continued fast and hard until she woke up Jim and decided to leave for the hospital. Jim packed up the car, fueled up and averaged 80 mph the entire 30 mile drive to the hospital. When I […]

5:00 PM on Monday night, Jacquelyn headed to Logan Regional five days overdue and ready to meet her baby. After they got settled in and checked out, they broke her water and slowly labor began. Jacquelyn was determined to go through the entire labor and delivery without an epidural! In the middle of the night, […]

Luke’s alarm went off at 6:15 and he hit snooze. A few minute later there was this constant buzzing and I kept nudging Luke to turn off his second alarm. Then I realized it was my phone and sprung right out of bed and called Matt back. It was baby time!!! They had been at […]

While I was in the middle of teaching on Thursday night, I got a few texts from Whitney. I didn’t check my phone until after the 4 hours of classes and started freaking out. I called with no answer and decided they probably had just gone back home and gone to sleep. I poured myself […]

I got home from Lauren & PJ’s wedding reception, fed Brody and popped in two benadryl. Trying to be sister, photographer and mom was so very exhausting. I told Luke I was going to sleep for 12 hours straight. As I laid my head on my pillow, I got a text message. I leaned over […]
