Around 9:30pm Wednesday night, I noticed that my contractions were getting closer together but not really changing in intensity. I decided to just go into the hospital ~ why not. So my parents came over to stay with the kids ~ I'm all but certain we'll be right back since these types of contractions have been going on for nearly 2 weeks. We get there and I'm at a 3, 85% effaced. I walk for 45 minutes and dilated another cm. My contractions are 6 minutes apart, then 2...not strong at all, all over the place. My dr. decides to admit me anyway and he was thinking he'd just break my water when he came in the morning at 6:30 to get things started. Then, ALL OF A SUDDEN, BAM, my contractions start getting super painful but they're still all over...every 5 minutes, every minute... The nurse checks me and I'm at a 5, 100% effaced, and baby's at a 0 station. She calls the dr. to come in. When she gets back she checks me again and I'm at a 9 and I HAVE TO PUSH. She is literally holding the baby in without gloves on, asking for an ER doctor. On the next contraction, I tell her there's no way this baby's staying in and push her out with the unbroken bag of waters. My dr. arrives about 3 minutes after the birth. So, no time for pain meds again...no Nubain, no nothin! It was basically a 45 minute labor and if I would have waited until those painful contractions started, got stuff into the car, and waited for my parents, DH would have delivered her on the side of the road. Luckily, the nurse got the pleasure of doing that .

She was 7 lbs. 5.9 oz., 20.25 in. with super soft brown hair. She's doing great with nursing . She basically came out rooting . K & B love love love her ~ she totally completes our family . We're home now and adjusting...
