Adalynn`s birthstory

I woke up that morning soaked and thought I had peed the bed. I changed the sheets and layed back down for about 2 hours, finally at about 6:00 a.m. I woke up wet again! I was like...oh no I think my water broke. Not sure I took a shower and called my mom, seeking her advice...she told me to go to the hospital anyway and just make sure.i didn`t think it was possible because I was 2 months early....I woke my boyfriend up again (1st time because I changed the sheets) He told me to go back to bed, not believeing this was real. On our hour drive to the hospital i started feeling cramps...sooner found out they were contractions. I had nothing ready....no bag packed... nothing. i really thought it was a false alarm. We arrived at the hospital around 8:30, I told my boyfriend to go to work, because I wasn`t sure what was ahppening. My cramps were getting more painful and closer together. I walked into the main enterence alone asking where labor and delivery was. I got there and there was no room for me so they placed me in the admission room. After like an hour finally someone came and checked me out. I was 6cm dialted and contractions were 2min apart. They told me I was having this baby today! 3/3/08...Oh my I wasn`t even due until 4/19/08, I just prayed she would be o.k, she was only 33 weeks. Well shortly after I was checked the labor pains were getting worse, I called my boyfriend and told him to come to the hospital. i think he was in a state of shock. nothing ever works how you plan it. I decidfed I wanted an epidural, after that I couldn`t even feel my contractions. I would descrivbe contractions as really bad menstral cramps, but all over. Finally around 2:45 I was fully dialated. I felt a lot of pressure and told them I fell her down there low, can I push...can I push???? Waiting for the doctor I started pushing, It was amazing! 14 minutes later beautiful Adalynn arrived in this world really early and was 5 pounds... bigger than expected! But she still had some lung issues. After 2 weeks of being in the NICU I finally go to take my beautiful girl home. She is perfect. I was told preemies develop slower and her developmental age doesn`t start unitll her due date. I love her more than life itself!
