I finally have a second to sit here and get my birth story out! laugh.gif

I started having some painful contractions around 7 PM on Tuesday night, but they weren't really all that regular. We started playing the Waiting / when do we call the Dr game.

i finally decided to just go to bed and get come rest around 11, and as soon as I layed down, my contractions stopped. dry.gif rolleyes.gif So, I thought it was false labor. Well, then around 2 am I decided that I was hungry so I had a bowl of cereal and the contractions kicked back in.
I hopped in the shower at 5, and DH was up after that. I must have looked really "ready" because he was in a huge hurry to get me out of the door.
We got to the hospital at 7 am, and they checked me, I was at a 4, so I got admitted. When the dr got there at 8:15 I was already at a 6 so he broke my water. By 9:00 I was a 10. I started pushing, and she started to get into distress a little, so I ended up having a vacuum extraction, They only had the vacuum attatched for 1 push, and I pushed a total of about 12 times and she was born! 9:32 am! Talk about quick!

They figured out that the reason she was in distress was that her umbilical chord was attatched to the placenta wrong. It was partly attatched to the bag of waters. Which I am told could have been extremely bad news. The Dr. was like, wow, look at this! I can't believe that she survived! usually babys that have that don't. dunno.gif but, we are both okay, so that is what matters in the end.

She has been nursing, but my poor nipples are SO SORE! sad.gif The lactation consultant said he had a good latch and all that, so I guess I am just a lot sensitive for now.

I'm not even going to get into how "helpful" dry.gif the consultant was. that is a sotry for another board. You nursing mothers will be appalled! mad.gif
Anyway, here are some pictures.

She's so beautiful (or pretty just like her big brother mentioned, what a sweetheart he is).

You look absolutely stunning.

Tara - she is precious. How's "The Boy" doing with the adjustment of you coming home??? I bet he's trying to be such a helper!

How scary about the umbilical cord, but so happy that everything was okay. I look forward to the updates from you.

The first thing he said to us when we got home was "thankyou for my sister!"
He has been so good with her. He is a little "mad" at me tho. He ended up in time out before i had been home for even an hour. I can't blame him tho. This is going to be a huge adjustment for him! The real test will be when his Auntie leaves on monday and his grandparents leave later next week. I hope he adjusts well.

Oh she is soooooooooo precious!!! And wow you look great (you always do)! Congrats on your new little girl. Glad that everything went fairly smoothly and FAST! The Boy looks very happy to be a big brother! What a beautiful family you have!

Did you have an epi? I can't believe you were already at a 4 when you got to the hospital. Sounds like it all went really quick! Crossing my fingers I have the same experience.
