Well three weeks early is how I like them. I went in on Thursday the 10th at 3:00 faking labor pains. I was having them, they were just self induced. I know...I'm tricky. So we went in and I was still dialated to a 2. The nurse called the doctor and he said to watch me for an hour or two and see if I was going to make any progress. So I walked the halls for an hour and then got checked again. I was only dialated to a 2 1/2 BUT the baby's head was engaged and I was thinned out more. So the doctor said to keep me. An hour later the doctor came to break my water as I was just getting finished hooking up to pitocin.This was at 6:00. He checked me and I was dialated to a 4!! He broke my water and away we went. I was stuck at a 5 1/2 FOREVER and finally made it to a 6 1/2 around 10:30. The next thing I know I'm feeling all sorts of pressure and the nurse comes in and checks me because the baby's heartbeat was reacting to the contractions like she was ready to come. I was at a 10!! In came the dr and the nurses. After one contraction and 2 big pushes, out came Paityn.At 12:25 AM, weighing in at 6 lbs. 7 ozs. and 19 inches long, she's by far my smallest. She looks A LOT like Cami and Trev. We had a long first night barely getting to our at 3:00 in the morning. She is having to be under the lights for jaundice treatment for the next couple of days but other then that she is a happy camper. The kids were so excited to meet her and I was so excited to be home. Paityn is such a good baby and I am so excited and greatful to have her. Take a look at this cute brand new blessing.
Right after she was born...first time she opened her eyes.Saturday, December 12, 2009
