Our little girl finally arrived! So the dr decided to induce me early so we went in on monday the 11th and they put a chord with some chemical on around around my cervix to help me to start dilating since I hadn't yet. It was a long night! I'm pretty sure I had back labor all night so I was just way uncomfortable especially being hooked up to tons of chords and being in a hospital bed. So finally the dr came in at 7:30 and checked me and broke my water. I was only 2cm so they said it would probably be a while and they would be back in to put me on pitocin. About 2 min later I went into full on labor. My contractions were minutes apart and coming stronger and faster! I pretty much thought I was gonna die especially since I wasn't even able to build up to the contractions. So I asked for an epidural since they told me I was still hours away, there was no way I would have last hours with those kind of contractions. So by the time I had my water broken and gotten the epidural and had it set in, since it took about 10 min to kick in on my right side which was still just as bad because I was still feeling all the contractions and especially in my back. Anyway it was about an hour from the water breakage to getting the epidural so they checked me and I was to a 9! I had went through pretty much all my labor without even knowing it. She was coming but the dr was delivering another baby so we had to sit and wait but with the magical epidural I didn't even care! I think I even feel asleep. So finally the dr came in, I pushed for about 15 min and she slid out! She was born at 9:45, 5 lbs, 5 oz and 18 inches.
Here she is in the NICU. She was so small and everytime she tried to nurse she would get so worn out that she wasn't really eating so her blood sugar dropped way low so they had to put her on an IV. So she was in the NICU from tuesday and we got to bring her home on saturday. It just took her a couple of days to figure out how to eat better but she in doing so good now and it seems like I'm always feeding! Well I should probably go take a nap since I obviously am not sleeping anymore. I'll try to get some more recent pictures up soon!
