Juliet was born on January 23rd at 4:01 p.m.. I was induced and decided to have her all naturally. In the middle of pushing her out I told Jeff to not let me have a baby naturally again but now, after the fact, I am glad I went naturally and will most likely have the rest of my babies naturally as well. Labor was only unbearable painful for an hour and Juliet was so much smaller than Molly that she came out rather easily in comparison (Molly I had naturally too but not by choice).
Juliet was 7 lbs 12 oz.. She was exactly 2 pounds lighter than Molly and our smallest baby. She is so cute! I am so glad not to be pregnant. Juliet's pregnancy was definitely the hardest and I think the hardest trial of my life thus far, but now that I get to hold her in my arms (and am not pregnant) it was all worth it. And to make up for her terrible pregnancy thus far Juliet has been a great baby. She sleeps a lot, has a cute little mouse sounding cry that we don't hear very often, and as long as she is warm is super happy. We are so glad she is now in our family!!

Yeah!!! Congratulations!!! Your family is so cute! Love the name. I'm sure we all know where you got the inspiration...Psych of course ;)
Just kidding, I don't know if you even watch that. Congratulations again...I will never go natural again but I'm impressed that you will.
We do watch and love that show so yes, that helped indeed. We tried a couple other names before we thought of it, but once we tried Juliet it stuck right away.
So excited for you, Debbie! She is so beautiful -- your whole family is! Congratulations! And I have totally been in the grateful to not be pregnant stage -- for about the last year. :) It's such a relief when you get to move out of that stage. I hope recovery keeps going well. Love you lots! When it warms up and your family is settled and you feel ready for four disruptive visitors, I still want to come visit. :)
Way to go Debbie!! And you know that I love hearing that "next time you have a baby..." You guys are awesome parents - we can't wait to meet Juliet and see you guys soon!
You guys make such cute kids--you should have a million! :)
