We finally had the baby on Dec. 28! We named him Gabriel Scott he weighed in at a whopping 10 lbs 11 oz and was 20 in long! It was quite the ordeal as no one had any idea I was pregnant with a toddler! I am not a big girl about 5 ft 6 in and weigh about 125 lbs not pregnant and low and behold I delivered this little big man vaginally with no drugs! He really didn't fit and my pelvic bones shifted and my hips released to get this little guy out and I have a LONG road of recovery ahead of me, but baby Gabe is very chubby and very healthy so that is what counts!! I will get through this, doing better than they expected already!! Thought I would share the news!!

YAY!!! Congratulations!! BIG congrats on going it au naturel with no drugs! It's so rare to hear of that these days! (That's my plan too; even though I was induced with DD I didn't get an epidural, and I plan on having a drug-free birth this time, too).

WOW, BIG BABY BOY.....I sure hope when I have kids it's not too hard. My biggest fear is the delivery, no wonder I have not had any kids yet! My husband and I want to start our family in the next few years.

Yayyyy! Congratulations.

ROFL at delivering a toddler. Welcome to the 10-pounder club. You have me beat - my son was 10lbs 4oz delivered vaginally. I am impressed though because I am considerably taller and heavier than you. Make sure you take it easy and give your body plenty of time to heal. Congrats again.

Can you post a pic of Gabe in the member only section?

Congatulations! I know exactly how you feel! Almost... My son was 11 lbs 4 oz. After 4 hours of pushing with no drugs he just wouldn't come out. It turns out his shoulders were actually bigger around than his head. I ended up with a cesarean. I am also a small person (5' 4 & 105 not pregnant). No newborn clothes or diapers. All the little outfits I had washed in Dreft and had all ready for him, he couldn't fit. I had to exchange all the cute little newborn diapers (with the belly button cut out) for a larger size.

Congratulations! That's wonderful that you're doing so well, so soon!

My first son was 11 lb. 4 oz., and born naturally, too, 26 years ago. I always joked that he was three weeks late and three months old.
