Baby Aislyn has arrived!!!

Hello Guys!

I was hoping to give you guys a few more updates through out my labor but with people coming in and out and everything going on I just didnt get the time!

Well...She made her arrival this morning (July 14th) at 3:10 am weighing in at 6 lbs 13 oz and 19 3/4" in Length. She scored a 9/10 on her APGAR. The nurse said that the nursery always laughs at her when she gives a 9/10 but my baby deserved it.

She came out pink and ready to look around! I was shocked at how pink she was...not really any purple or blue.

**So here's the story!!!

Sunday night - early monday morning...about 1:30 am when my DH and I decided to go to bed I started having some pretty strong cramps but didnt think much of it since I had been having them all week and after the 3rd or 4th one they were done!! Just a tease!

Well I went to sleep and slept most of the night except for some potty calls....Well I woke up about 9:30 monday morning and laid in bed with my DH waiting for my DS to come and let us know that it was time to get out of bed...

When I finally got up about 10:30 and went potty and noticed some pink discharge and more contractions....I called my doctor and she said to keep an eye on my contractions and that if anything happens come in but for the time being to just keep my 3:20 appointment...

Well at about 12:30 we decided to go ahead and get out of there and head to the docs office...It would take us an hour to get there and if I wasnt in labor we were going to talk about being induced...Well...

When I get to the doctors office I had gone from being 1cm to 2 cm and 50% effaced....she sent me to the hosptial!!

We got to the hosptial and did 2 40 minute walks and got me to a 3. They decided within the next hour to get me the epidural and to break my water....this was around 7:45...When they gave me the epidural my bp dropped to 60/40 so they had to give me some ephedrine (sp?) to get it back up and it worked great! Baby Aislyn never even missed a beat!

It took me a while to get over 4 cm...felt like I stayed there forever...so they upped my patocin and I got to 7 cm within 2 1/2 hours of that...Then about 1 1/2 hours later they checked me and I was ready!

I gave about 6 good pushes and she was out! It was so easy and so perfect!

New Creations...

Here are a few things that I made for Ais this weekend...I also made a hat for Danyion too...I'll have to get pics of that one up here soon!

Since her Daddy LOVES lemons...and they can be bad for your teeth, especially the amount that he'd want to eat...I made Ais a lemon hat so that her daddy can have all the lemon he wants!!



And I think this one is SUPER cute!!!

uhh...39 weeks!

Yup...today is 39 weeks and still no baby...I know that I still have a week to go till my due date but I was hoping she'd be here by now...That's my own selfishness coming out and all but i want to see her!

This weekend we had a few pretty hard contractions but nothing else after that...Trey is ready to jump and run at any second! haha...every time I say ooooohhhh....oweee...He's ready to jump and run! It's super cute!

Well..We have a doctors appointment today so we'll see how things go! Hopefully good!!! :-) Fingers Crossed...

11 Days till my Due Date!!!

Well....nothing yet..

I wish she'd just hurry...Mommy is getting impatient and is very very uncomfortable..I'm glad to have a long weekend this week...and next Thursday is my last day at work for a while...then maternity leave starts! YAY!

I'd really love her to just hurry up and come...but when I stop and think about it...I have SOOO much stuff to do that it's just insane! Honestly I dont think anyone is ever really 100% prepared for something like this but it's nice to believe I am..haha.

At our last doctors appointment I hadnt had any progress but she decided to give my cervix a little encouragement and part of my mucous plug came out...poor trey...I think he's going to be scared for life! He wasnt too sure about all that! haha!

Well...if anything we only have 11 days till my due date and she wont let me go past 41 weeks so that's 18 days at the most that we will have to wait! Fingers crossed that it comes sooner than that!!!
