I started "different than my Braxton Hicks" contractions two days before she was born. I thought for sure we'd have a baby on the 20th. They were stronger and felt a lot different than the ones I had been having off and on for the last month...but they never got strong. After a doctors appt on the 21st my doctor told me I'd have a baby that day and I should start regular full labor soon...it NEVER came!! She then advised me to go on in the hospital and get checked. I still was NOT contracting regularly but after getting checked, walking around and getting checked again, my water was leaking and I was staying!! We were going to have a baby soon!!!
I walked and walked and walked!! Still NO regular contractions. Then they broke my water....and the contractions STARTED!!! They got stronger and stronger!! After 2 1/2 hrs they checked me again and NO change!! I was so frustrated and was ready for it to be over by this time (not to mention it is now 3:30am!!)
They had to start pitocin because of the no change and boy did I think the contractions were strong earlier!! At 4:30 they gave me a Vistaril (a med that helps relax you). By 5:15 I was ready to push and she here at 5:26am!!
Garrett and Haylee came to visit a few hours later and was AMAZING!! The look in their eyes and the smiles on their faces!! They were instantly in love!! Garrett wanted a boy so bad, but as soon as he looked at her he didn't care!!
Our family is now complete!!
