I have 2 new nieces, both born today at the same hospital using the same midwife! My sister, Julie, was due on the 13th, so she was overdue, and my sister-in-law, Jen, isn't due until the 23rd, but this morning around 1:30 AM Jen went to the hospital because she was in labor. She was + for group B strep, so she had to get antibiotics before the baby could be born. While she was resting, my sister Julie was at home. Then her water broke, so she went into the hospital around 3:45 AM. Then at 4:07 Quinci Ann Smith was born. She weighed 8# 4oz. The midwife would have missed the birth completely, but she was there waiting for Jen to have her baby. After Julie had Quinci, Jen was ready to have her baby. The midwife had to hurry and finish everything with Julie, and then she went in and delivered Baby Girl Peterson (no name yet! :)) at 5:06 AM! She weighed 8# 11oz. Everybody is doing great! Both little girls are the 2nd daughter in their families, and the 4 child. They both look just like their older sisters! What a fun day we had!
