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!

Boopy - Thursday, 31 July
Yo! Where are the new pics? I believe the oldest one of her on there is 15 days. Get with it chica...you can't be busy. LOL J/K


Boopy - Wednesday, 30 July
Hey....I posted a coupld new pics on page 10. Do our babies still look alike? Oh, and she is actually awake in one of them. LOL

I think my baby is going bald. I can see more and more of her head instead of new hair. hehe. Guess it's going to come in blonde...or strawberry blonde...


Boopy - Wednesday, 30 July
Yeah...she can see us just fine. It's more the long term that this can affect the eyes. The good news is that it's only part of her retina, and the dr said that even if that part doesn't fully mature...she can still have perfect vision. Nontheless...it needs to be monitored so it doesn't get worse. So...every other week at the drs office continues.

Yeah...my boobs would do that also. I'd go for hours and then pump so I could actually get something...and I would...but then back down to little boobs again. I swear...for the first month...it looked like I had a boob job! Anyway...do your boobs still twinge when Chloe cries...like...do you feel the letdown happen still????


Linnea - Wednesday, 30 July
Holy Crap! I'm stressed out with one baby! Four kids is a lot. You must be really overwhelmed. I just gave Skylar a bath and took her outside for a bit... crossing my fingers for tonight. Thanks for the reply.

when is the best time to call you .. with your freaking zoo of a family


Boopy - Tuesday, 29 July
ROP is retinopathy of prematurity. It's when the retinas don't fully attach...detached retinas. In severe cases...it can lead to blindness. One of the reasons we have to go to the eye dr every other week is to prevent blindness. If it looks like it's getting worse...they will do surgery.

Yay...do the pump thing!!!! That is a good amount...and the great thing about pumping is that you will always know how much she is getting. Hey...if I managed for 10 weeks...you sure can also!!! I didn't even have a baby to look at or be near either...well...the last two weeks I did. You will be happy knowing that she is still getting your milk.


littlemissi - Tuesday, 29 July
Wow, no, not as early as boopys girl. he was 34weeks and 5 day gestational. my water broke and they had to induce because my labor didnt start. yeah, i cant image having a babe at 27 weeks either- it was an emotional rollercoaster with conrad at 35 weeks! it hurt- i felt helpless to help him, and he was only in nicu a week. i was so impatient to bring him home. her baby now looks like conrad did when he was born- minus the alert/awake eyes. hows the little girl sleeping? any better?


sugarcubesandcottoncandy - Tuesday, 29 July
Hey.. I know how you feel. The hospital got my daughter used to formula without my permission and she refused to tsake my breast. she is still not completely breastfed. Once or twice a day is the best she manages and it kills me too. But... its only for a short while. You will both be fine before you know it and she will be at your breast as always. :)

Hugs and prayers.
