I went to the hospital and I started having contractions. They were not progressing my cervix though, so they had to give me some cervidil and another thing to help get it ready. Still I was not dilating. They started me on pitocin but it didn't do any good either. So we were left at a delima. I had been in the hospital for over a day and didn't really want to go home without a baby. My doctor suggested that I go home and wait it out- or he could break my water. The catch was that if he broke my water and I was still not progressing, then I would end up having to have a c-section. That is something I Definitely didn't want... however, Stephen was home and we decided to take our chances and have the baby. So at around 12:30pm they broke my water and contractions started baddd!!! It was horrible. at 2:00 they checked me and I was at a 3. at 3:00 I was at a 5, and at 5:37 my sweet baby girl was born. I progressed so quickly after my water broke it was a really easy process. Of course it hurt REALLY bad but it was fast enough that I feel very lucky.
My princess was born and able to be greeted by her mommy, her daddy, and her 'aunt seastore'
I am so in love with her and couldn't be happier about the new addition to our family.
