I was lying in bed and started having cramping, thought nothing of it as the past few weeks of hoping had turned out to be absolutely nothing at all and was very disappointing. So I went to sleep. I had dreams of being in the hospital and having pain but I could feel the pain in real life... so weird. 4:30am hubby was getting up for work, the cramping was still there. I told him I was unsure if he should go to work. Then I completely doubted it as it has been nothing for so damn long. So I said forget it just keep your phone on and bring it with you. So at 5am I got out of bed and said, they arent going away. he asked if I thought baby was coming, I said i duno. So he left for work and I stayed home. at 7am I started having contractions but they werent consistant AT ALL so again, thought it was BH`s. Crazy shit I tell ya. I started timing them on the computer and still werent consistant at all. Called hubby and told him to come home as i wanted to be checked to ease my mind. I thought about packing my bag but didnt do it. Hubby picked up our babysitter on hisway home and I decided to pack my bag. Still not having pain, just discomfort. So we left for the hospital and got there at about 10:30 am and got in right away, they checked me and to my surprise I was 3cm. Then reality hit me and I was like `oh shit its actually happening`. 20 mins later they checked me again and I was 3-4cm.. .I was thinking well DAMN Im laboring SLOW as I never have before this time! So they told me to walk. I walked for a half hour, got upstairs and we went into the labor lounge and sat there and I started having real contractions that actually hurt me badly. I didnt make a peep. I breathed through them and swayed and sang... kids songs in my head ! It worked WELL! It didnt stop the pain but it got my mind off of it and and it was so much easier to deal with the pain. So an hour after being checked and being only 3-4cm I said to Cam `They need to check me now` so the nurse came and got me and brought me back to bed and said `ok yah your 7cm` so they brought me to my actual LDRP room. I used a wheel chair to get there as by now the pain was to bad to walk, let alone talk. I communicated by nodding and shaking y head. We got to the room in about 30 seconds and they told me to go pee. So I did. I came outta the bathroom and they said they were gonna start my IV as I was GBS positive and I told them, `no, you dont have time I have to push` and they said `oh ok`... as they knew I labored fast. So then I simply said I have to push and started to, they told me no but I didnt listen. I grunted my way through naturl childbirth. The nurse wanted to check me and I said no way. Then the doc said she had to and she did and I told her to get her fucking fingers outta there. So they told me to lay down while I pushed as I was on my side propped up. I said nothing and did my own thing, in my own time. Eventually I ended up on my side... which obviously wasnt long as I went went from 7 to delivery in 5 minutes!! But still.,. you get my point. Once I was on my side I felt the head coming out. I took a deep breath and grabbed Cams hands, despite their request to hold my own legs that WASNT HAPPENING! So I took that deep breath and let out one huge grunting scream and pushed her head out... then shoulders which were wrose... freaking OWY! She came out and was BLUE as the cord was around her neck. But she was fine, they placed her on my chest and she was here, she was finally here!!!!! We stayed in the hospital for 48 hours as I was GBS positive and had no IV meds before she came out. I am home now and am feeling great! My tummy is small again but still very flappy and you can tell I just had a baby, but it will go away in no time I know.

I love her SO MUCH and I am SO EXCITED to have her home!

Oh and I FINALLY have a baby that looks like ME! I have to admit though that she is a funny looking baby but she is cute to me... even though she looks Asian ! LOL!! I lvoe her! I will set pics up now! Love you ALLL!!!! And good luck to you ALL!

This is my Cameron with Brittany, Raymond and Sophie when she was first born!

I know! I look at my other 3 kids ages 11, 10, and 7 and ask myself.... Why did I do this again. I had it made! But of course I love her and couldn't imagine life without her! We too are going through the same thing in the middle of the night. She slept so peacefully fom 9-12 last night and I thought for sure we would have been good, but no such luck. She was up at 12 to eat, then laid and grunted in her bed till 2:30. Got up and fed her again and gave her a 2oz supplement of formula, She slept from 3:30 to 4:45, then I tried to let her cry herself to sleep after that but by 6, she wasn't asleep. It was so hard. So then I got up and fed her again, and this time put her in bed with me and she slept till noon. Now if I can only get her to sleep from midnight to 6 I'll be doing good!

Congrats to you too! Anna was 9 days early, weighed 7/7 and came out via vacuum two hours after they cut off my epidural. I was very fortunate that I didn't end up with a c-section as I pushed for 4 hours and they usually take you back at 3! How did your labor go?


notimecj - Friday, 11 July
