Pregnancy with matix

We had been trying to get pregnant for a short time when Lindsey found out she was, then a few months later Tara is pregnant, and about a month after that Adri shares her good news. So by that time I was feeling really discouraged. But less than a week and I realized I was to. I didn't get morning sickness besides feeling sick on the road. And mostly when I was hungry. I was the pickiest eater, and hated every moment of it. I remember being so hungry forcing saltine crackers down and crying. Brandon would list every place to eat before I could make up my mind. All I really wanted was fruit or smoothies. Start weight was 128 and had matix weighing 173.

Brynlee Nicole

Last night about 6:00 I started having stronger contractions, by 9:00 I knew Brynlee was most likely coming the next day. I had Brandon help me gather everything into our room so we would be prepared. I had strong contractions all through the night. Brandons alarm went off and he started getting dressed for work. I told him I was really having her that day and he couldn't leave. He didn't think it would be until that night, but asked if he had time to drop off the work trailer, it'd take an hour. I said yes, when he left I called tara to pick up matix. She picked me up snacks I'd asked for on the way over. I called my midwife sherry to tell her i was ready, she asked me to time my contractions. Just after tara got here and started to get things for matix. I let her know I didn't want her to leave, she had kids play downstairs. I was in the bath having a lot of contractions and had her text sherry I was ready though i didn't time them. Tiff called to ask how close my contractions were. We timed and they were 3 min apart. So they headed this way. I had her then call Brandon and Tammy (My mom was sadly in new mexico)I sat through a few more very strong contractions, then went to the bathroom where my legs were shaking and crampy, I sat through a few more very strong contractions on the toilet. I almost asked tara to let me lean on her but at that moment my water broke and I could tell Brynlee's head was right there. I said "help me" and reached for her help to the tub, thinking I might collapse. At that moment Brandon turned the corner, (just getting back home) brought me to the tub. As I climbed in I was having another contraction and scared to sit.. In fear of squishing her. I knew her head was there, I partially held my weight and leaned sideways on the tub (partially in the water) I then layed on my back and said she's coming. I felt down and said she's right there, catch her. Brandon could see her crowning. I told tara to call my midwife. She walked out of the room to call, and at that moment I had the urge to push. Brandon delivered her and layed her on me. It was amazing, we felt so at peace. Sherry said to leave her cord attached, they would be here in 20min. We could tell she was fine by her loud cries, her skin was purple but it wasn't anything to worry about. She was finally here, and she was perfect. Tammy showed up shortly after, very worried.. Just like my mother had been on the phone. But me brandon and tara knew she was great and felt so calm. Matix came up and met her(cord attached and all) He almost climbed right in the tub with us. And asked to take her to show his cousins. Tara headed out with the kids when Sherry and Tiffany showed up. They clamped the cord, Brandon cut it. Sherry delivered my placenta. I didn't tear thank goodness. They cleaned us up and we cuddled in the bed. They checked, measured and weighed her shortly after. Once they made sure everything was fine they and Tammy left. And we had Brynlee to ourselves. We are so grateful that everything went smoothly, and she came out with no complications. We are so grateful for her, and feeling so blessed. Our baby Brynlee Nicole Tippetts was born Monday June 11th 6:58am 7lbs. 7oz. 21 inches long.
