Behold, children are a gift of the LORD, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; they will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Psalm 127:3-5

Update Dec906 Well today is our due date and i can only hope she comes out today, what are the chances of that right? but i can hope. I am so uncomfortable it's like i hurt all over.. evrynight that goes by it's getting more difficult to get out of the bed physically.. imagine a beached whale, that's what i feel like!

Update dec1006 well i am officially 1 day overdue.. i know it's only one day but everyday that goes by feels like a month and another 10 pounds.. i would ask to be induced but they'd say no unless it was an emergency, but i can tell you one thing.. if it were men having these babies it would be considered an emergency.. LOL My feet are so swollen and my stretch marks keep growing up my tummy and now my face is puffy, i don't look cute that's for sure.. and when i go out in public people always ask "when are you do?" i say "today, or yesterday" and they cant believe i'm still mobile, and i get treated like a person with a dissability, and yet when i go to the dr.'s i have to park like 10 blocks away and almost feel like using the handicapp parking.. we should all get a free pass at this stage.. agree?

Dec1106 well i'm home on a day pass from hospital i have been in labour now for 11 hours!! and i have been awake for over 24 hrs.. and i'm not liking this one bit, i am very frusterated!!!! they said my baby should be here before midnight so i guess we'll see... i want this over like now.. it's already been 11 hours

Well i was in labour for 28 painfull hours.. i started having contractions 3min apart on dec 10 at 11pm.. when i went to the hospital they said i was completely effaced yet only 1cm dialted, i went home for 3 hours on a day pass and by the time i went back to hospital i was 4cm dialted, nurses and doctors admitted me and said baby should be here soon.. 8 hours after that i was only dialated 7cm.. nurses were nervous because i wasn't dialating and haing serious contractions.. they figured out that baby was posterier breech and we had to turn her.. they gave me only morphine which messedme up pretty bad.. nothing was working so they induced me with some picotin, and after 8 mre hours i was only dialated to 7cm, and stayed there for long time, they discussed C SECTION.. so they gave me an epidural to relax me so contractions could work.. i slept between contractions for 2 hours and when they checked me i finally made it to 10cm so at 200am dec 12 i finally heard the words "okay you can start pushing now" i already felt like i needed to push for a day already by then.. an hour after easy pushing and major tearing and probably 200 stiches (not kidding) she was born.. she is a good baby and didn't even cry when she was born.. i heard her cry when i was discharged today from hospital after blood work for first time.. i will post pics soon.. she's got a mop full of long drk brown hair and looks like daddy!!
