Our little girl has arrived! She came one week early right on her daddy's birthday. Rob was so excited, he said it was the present he could ahve gotten. I started having contractions Sunday morning and they continued all day. Well by 11:00 they were about 3 min. apart and pretty uncomfortable. So we thought I guess we should go to the hospital! We get there and get all hooked up and the nurse said that my contractions weren't very strong. They had us walk around the hospital for about 30 min. and checked again and nothing was happening. I was about 3 cm. and almost 100% effaced, but I had been about 2 cm. for two weeks already so it wasn't a big jump. They told us we could keep walking or go home. So we decided to go home and try to get some sleep. At this point it was like 2 in the morning so we were pretty beat. I was able to get a couple of hourse, but the contactions were too uncomfortable so I got up and decided to unpack a bunch of boxes,because we just moved into our house, and they were just getting worse and worse. Well I wasn't sure ow long to wait because I didn't want to go back to the hospital and have them tell me I still wasn't progressing! I had a scheduled dr.'s appt. at 10:20 and we were going to try to wait and go to that. Well at 10:00 I told Rob we had to just go to the hospital, I could't take it anymore! We went to the hospital, which luckily was just 5 min. away, and the rest was a whirlwind! I was 8 cm. and they said the baby was ready to go! They were hooking me up and wheeling me into labor and delivery so fast. I got my epidural, which was wonderful! It was less than an hour later I was 10 cm. and ready to push! An hour and a half later she was here!
Her name is Taylor Diana Seymour
She was 7 lbs. 6 oz. and 19 in. long
Rob just adores her already...
We are so excited, we feel very blessed that everything went ok and that she is healthy. We have so much going on, we had just moved into our house on Thursday. So life is a little crazy, but we are already starting to adjust. We have had a lot of help, it has been nice!
