Well, I have a baby now. I'm sure this reality will be reflected in the way I update this from now on (aka short, if ever, if this lifestyle all keeps up!)
I had a normal check-up on Friday, November 6, and due to dilation, effacement and blood pressure, my OB sent me over to labor and delivery to essentially deliver immediately! Talk about a whirlwind and mindgames. Labor and delivery was actually so busy, with no free rooms, and I wasn't in an immediate situation, so we all agreed that I would come back first thing in the morning. That was actually a nice little reprieve to wrap my head around the fact that baby girl was coming over a week early. We already had the nursery set up from the week before, so that was a relief.
AJ and I set off the next morning in the rain to go have a baby!
Things progressed so slowly, I was really enjoying just letting things unfold, and each new step set fear into my heart. It took me an hour to agree to let them break my water because I was so scared about the next step and speeding it up, and when I was told I was at 10 centimeters I think I panicked a little. But an hour later, the little lady was here!
