EMMA IS HERE!!!! :) On November 10, 2011 she was born in this world! What a crazy labor and delivery we had. Here is here birth story. I had a doctor's appt on 11/7 where she checked me to see if I would be okay to induce on that thursday. Well... I was still only dialated to a one and Emma's head was still so far up. (looks like she didn't want to come out anytime soon) but being so swollen she gave me the great news that we will plan on thursday anyway. (When I heard those words I have to admit I FREAKED) I was so ready to have her out, but actually having her out was really overwhelming and I felt so unprepared and so nervous. But, she was coming no matter what.. The next few days were a blur. But I got instructions to call on thursday @ 5:30 am to the hospital so we could see if there was a room for me to be induced. Well there wasn't until about 11am so that is when I was going in! (let me tell you Stacey and I didn't sleep at all that night we were so nervous and excited I swear one of us was waking up every hour on the hour) Well... They got me in my room for labor and delivery. I had a great nurse and a few student nurses that were there as well. She checked me and I was dilated to a 2 and completly soften! YAY! I could have gone into labor maybe by myself. :) She got us all hooked up to the monitors and to my suprise I was actually having contractions every 2 ish minutes.. I have never felt contractions before so it was kinda nice. So there I was about noonish hooked up to meds and having contractions! I was going to have a baby and I was for sure thinking it was going to be the longest day of my life. Well when I was to a 3 the nurse suggested that I have my water broken and then get my epidural. Well I let me say I really hated getting my water broken its so gross and you feel so gross.. But, that is what happened... (this is where it gets gross) I was so full of fluid I had tons of water leaking from me! ewwwww... And when I got my epidural every contraction tons more water exploded from me.... The nurse was joking with me that if the baby turns out to be a boy that I should name him Noah, bc she hasn't seen this much water for a long time! (too bad Noah is already taken). Well it took the doctor 2 times to get my epidural in and WOW it was painful! (I don't remember that with Noah at all. But It stopped the little pain I was having so I was good to go. I was happy bc I was going to take a nap and get ready for the delivery part. Well that didn't go as planned. She checked me an hour or so later and I was at a 4.5. But all of a sudden I could feel the contractions again. WTH! So the nurse gave me some more meds in my spinal.. well.. that didn't work.. I was about a 7 ish before the doctor came back in and shot some more powerful stuff in my and I was more relaxed... I was about a 9 when I could feel it all again.. OMW! OUCH!!!!!!!!!!! Then right before I started pushing they gave me more powerful drugs... (Thank goodness) I could feel tons of pressure and it wasn't as painful. Emma finally arrived at 8:13 pm and she was purple. (The doctor didn't tell me but her heartrate drastically was low and was worried) good thing I didn't know that... She was beautiful and I was so excited to have her out and not to be pregnant anymore. Emma was 7lb 2oz and 19 3/4 inch with tons of dark hair! (I swore she would be blonde or bald.) I love being a mom again. Noah loves his little sister! And Stacey is a proud daddy! She is growing bigger and bigger everyday and I can't believe that she is, today, 3weeks old. :)
