She's Here!!

Well she is here healthy and strong. (sorry the pictures aren't in order), I was scheduled to be induced on Friday the 14 which was my due date. I went in on Thursday to see how I was progressing.






I was dilated to a two. The doctor striped my membranes hoping it would move things along. So all that day I was hoping to go into labor nothing happened maybe a few light contractions but nothing sirius. So I was convinced that we were going in at 6:00 on Friday to start labor. Except at 1:00 I was dreaming about some show we watched just before bed. And I felt a contraction, then I felt something wet Like I Peed a little. Then I felt more wet and I woke up all the and I realizedI that my water just broke. I was so excited, I got up and got dressed and I told DH that We should probably go. He was still sleeping through all of this. He got up and got dressed and got all of our bags to the car. We got to the hospital and got settled in our room and it was 2:45. My contractions were nothing real regular but I wanted to go in just in case they got stronger. So all through the morning I was contracting and I was dilated to 3 so was progressing pretty good. The nurse gave me the option to start with pitocin to get things going a little faster I opted to start pitocin (I wanted her here) So then the contractions got going good. The doctor finally got there at about 8:30-9:00 I was dilated to 6 and I was ready for my Epidural. But the (well I don't know how to spell it ) epidural guys were busy with someone else and I had to wait an hour. By the time he came I was dilated to 7 and in some pain. He had trouble getting the needle in my back which is kind of scary. After I was settled I could still fill some pain which is okay because I wanted to feel something. The nurse and doctor left me to have a rest but I couldn't really because I was still in some pain. Then I felt lots of pressure and I new the baby was coming. They never came for a long time and I kept aksing DH when they said they were coming back He didn't know. Finally they came and the nurse checked me and she said Oh this baby is here. She told me "don't push and ran out and got the doctor and everyone. they had to hurry and gett everything ready. She was here in about 3 pushes. The cord was wrapped around her neck and arm pretty tight she wasn't breathing for a little while. The doctor took her over to the table and pumped oxygen in her and she finally started to breathe. It was the best sound in the world when she started to cry. She was born at 11:08 8lbs 3 oz 20 inches long. We are so blessed to be able to have doctors and nurses that are trained for these kinds of things. I am grateful that she is here and everything is good. We are settleing to our new life style really well. She sleeps good at night even though i know this will change I am glad she sleeps now at least. The big brothers love her and ask all kinds of questions like "What does she eat, why is she sleeping, is she hungry." and that not even half of them. DH has been so good through everything I love him so much and am grateful he was there to hold my hand.
