So i went to work like it was just another day on Monday feb 11th. Come home and cooked dinner and just layed around and watched T.V. went to bed and watched T.V. in there for a while until about 10:30 pm. I started to get contractions. They come slow for a while. While they still hurt I figured that they where braxton hicks like the others that i have had that week. So i decided that I would try to get some sleep at around 11: 30. Then by 12am my contractions started getting stronger and closer together. AND THEY HURT. Tried to get comfortable for another hour or so and then by 1am i was done and ready to go to the hospital. grabbed Jamies arm while he was sleeping and told him that it was time to go. We got up and packed the rest of out stuff and headed to the hospital. we got there around 1:45am and into a bed around 2am. the nurse checked me and said that i was 4 cm dilated and so then she started asking questions for so that i could get a epidural. that took like 20mins -30mins but felt like a lifetime cause my contractions where only like 2-3mins apart and very painful. So finally the nurse checked me again around 3pm and said that i was morning along very fast and that i was already 7-8 cm so she hurried and called my doctor and then finally around 4am the nurse come in to give me my epidural. Well the epidural takes like 20mins to half hour to kick in and she was ready to be born about 15- 20 mins later therefore it did not have time to kick in.
Man that hurts. but it was all worth it. She was 6lbs 6oz 19 1/2 inches. She did well on the apgar test. she scores 8-9. She is very very cute. But what mom wouldn't think that about her baby girl. she is very small and for those of u how know me that know that i have tons of clothes for her but she doesn't fit into any of the new born stuff. she swims in. we had to go get preemie clothes.
Since i had her in the middle of the night we stayed in the hospital until Thursdays feb 14th. She was our valentines day present to each other. We took lots of pics and we also have videos. fell free to check them out. And if u haven't had a chance to see her then just call and we can make sure that u do. She is going very well she had her first pediatrician appointment on Friday. The doctor says that she is doing great.
we are both doing well. have had some visitors which is nice. Jamie was lucky enough to be able to take some time off work and help out and get use to her schedule. He is going to go back to work on the 25th feb. More to come in a couple of days once we get settle in and get some more sleep. ( like that will happen any time soon hahaha ).
Love ya all
Sarah, Jamie and MORGAN :)
