Hey ladies! I've been meaning to post this for a while but DD is here!!!! Natalie Grace was born June 11 at 5:29 pm! She weighed 7 lbs 5 oz and was 19 3/4 in long! She shares a birthday with my Dad. Quick birth story for you all! We decided to be induced when my body stopped growing and I literally had bruises on my hips and bruised ribs. We went in at 645, and were all hooked up to pitocin and Iv's by 7:30. DH went to grab a breakfast burrito in the cafeteria (the hospital we were at has great food and was more like a hotel than anything!) While he was gone my dr came to say hello I convinced her to break my water! Imagine the look on DH's face when he came back minutes later and I told him my water broke! This was 8 am. At 10:30 I got an epidural and was 3 cm. We watched game shows and I rested. By this point I was in the zone and wasn't focused an much but getting her out! I was checked at 2:30 and was already 8!! The nurse came back at 3 and I was fully dilated. She asked me to do a test push and she quickly called my dr! She told her DD would be out quick. My dr came in within minutes and said we would deliver within 20 minutes. DH and I joked with the nurse and my dr between contractions. I was very comfortable and ready for baby! Well she had other plans. At one point DD shifted and tried to come sideways. I could tell the dr was concerned as she made sure she could always hear the babies heart. As time passed DD was stuck, and she was sitting or pushing on a block of nerves which sent an awful pain into my back. After pushing for 2 hours I started to cry a little between contractions out of frustration and back pain. At 2.5 hours I broke down during a contraction and cried. Luckily, that caused DD to come out!! She is so beautiful and such a great baby! We nursed with in 15 min and she latched right on! We are so truly blessed! I'll post pics soon as I'm on our iPad and don't know how to from here!    |
