More....

So apparently I suck at these blog things. That's okay though.

I live with my wonderful fiancee, Fred, just outside Tampa, FL. I'm originally from Boston, while he's always lived around Tampa. We've been together for almost three years, and are now expecting our baby girl!

Towards the end of January, I was becoming slightly concerned because I was late on my period. However, that was nothing new, it was never on time, always varied from being early, to over a month late. I honestly did not believe I was preggers. Fred, however, told me to 'amuse' him and piss on the preggo test stick, he even went out and bought it for me. One morning I figured I would, he had already left for work and I was getting ready to go into work myself. I did the deed, left it on the toilet, and then hopped in the shower not thinking much of it. I get out, halfway forgetting that I had taken the test, glance over at it, and NO LIE, had to look at it like 10 times. There was no way it said pregnant, right?!?! lol, I looked at it like 10 times just to make sure that the word 'not' wasn't in front of it. Now, realizing, that the test did actually come back positive, that I was preggers, I had to call Fred. So I go find my phone and call him. (All while going back to the test a couple of times to 'just be sure') I tell him, 'hun, I'm pregnant.' and he totally almost crashed his car. lol. He was happy though. He's going to be a great dad.

Anyways, I'll write more later.

well later ended up being... birth story!!!

Monday August 25th- I went to my normal week 37 appointment. Doctor checked me for dialation, said I was 1cm (week before I was 0) and then she stripped my membranes without me knowing. I experienced A LOT of bleeding afterwards. That night I lost my plug.
Tuesday 26th- Went to work. I work in retail, and was going to give them an ultimatum. Either make me work the register all day being able to sit down, or I`m going home. (normally I work in the computer department standing all day) They agreed to put me on the register. Was there for about 3 hours checking customers out, having BH`s every like 10 minutes. This old guy came up to the register with like a TV stand to purchase. I felt a poping feeling in my stomache, and then my pants were soaked! So, my water broke. I looked at the customer and said `oh shit` he responded, is everything okay? I didn`t answer him and paged over our walkie talkies `I need someone up at my register, like now.` Three other employees ran over to me. They wheeled me into the breakroom and I waited there for my fiancee to come pick me up.
My fiancee arrived about 30 minutes later (he works 50 minutes away) and we drove to the hospital. They checked me in, was 2cm`s dialated, 70%. An hour later I was 3cms dialated 90%. Got the epidural. OMG that thing was amazing. Everyone- get it. They checked me 3 hours later and I was 6cm. Then I started to feel pain. I thought the epidural stopped working. Like, the pain was so bad I was crying. Turns out, i was just ready to push. I pushed for like 45 minutes and out came Kelsey. I love her to death.
I tore AND got an episiotomy. The tear was on the side, and the episiotomy was on the bottom area. 2nd degree. I`m on lovely pain meds.

Anyways, Really, It wasn`t that bad. I pictured delivering her to be way worse. I`d do it again in a heartbeat.
