Adalyn Rose is here!

One word for Addy's birth story- FABULOUS!! Ahh never thought I'd use that word in regards to labor after my first experience but it was! It began on Tueaday at midnight with my water breaking.. Same response from David " are you sure you didn't pee" ( then he laughs because he knows it's a joke now) I try to tiptoe out of Avah's room where I was sleeping.. Fail. So Avah is awake now and to her " I'm leaking" everywhere. We contemplate calling the dr because I wasn't having contractions. David talks me into it because it's clear now Avah isn't going back to sleep until we get out of the house. I speak to Dr Pierson. She urges me to get there quickly because the second time is faster. We leave at around 1am once Nana arrives and get to the hospital at 2am. At this point contractions felt like severe cramps but I could walk. We stop by Krisy Kreme because I was starving and feared I wouldn't be able to eat for the next 12 hrs. We arrive and they put us in a triage room. I'm only 1 cm but yet each time a contraction came on I was clinching the bed rail, breathing hard and thinking" I can do anything for a min" I've got to get through this! David tried to rub my feet a few times I shook my head, I was in a zone of getting through the pain but at the same time feeling am I a wuss because if I'm only 1 cm I don't think I'll make it without some meds. 20-30 mins passed by and then I'm screaming to David " Baby is coming!!! Get someone!!" David pushes the red button and 10 people flood in.. I'm 8 cm! Dr rushes in, they hurriedly wheel my bed to a delivery room, prop up the stir ups Dr. Pierson says next contraction push! I push and there she is!!! WOW, what an incredible feeling!! One push?!? 

To think I had been stressing earlier in the day because Dr said I was "closed" and they scheduled me an induction date. I was so upset.. Shows them what they know. 

I had some very uncomfortable minor complications weeks 36-38ish. Then 2 amazing weeks of Avah and mommy time. God has such an amazing way of working things out. Had Addy came early like I wanted Avah and I wouldn't of had so much fun together! We are beyond blessed to have these healthy angels and that is not to be taken for granted. Now we begin to settle as our family of 4. :)
