Okay

I was just checked and am at a 6 & they shut off my pitocin, head is nice & low too... And really the contractions are tolerable they don't last too long - about 45 seconds and are about 2-3 mins apart. I am so glad I am not having back labor (knock on wood) I'm getting there!

Updated: They turned my pitocin back on as my contractions were not as strong and they were not lasting as long. I actually asked them to turn it back on, I know odd request why would anyone ask for more of the Devils juice but I knew it would help me to dilate and get her here faster. So the pictocin did it's job I did dilate and when it was finally complete I only had the pushing urge through 3 contractions which on the 3rd one is when she came out. She had her cord wrapped around her neck once but Dr. Hibbert got that undone and out she came. She was crying nicely about 5 seconds after she came out and was good and pink as any girl should be. I was so relieved to have her out, that I actually thanked her for coming out of me. She is by far the most cheesy (vernix? not sure of spelling on that on) baby I have ever had. My other kids maybe had a tiny bit in their creases but Addison had it EVERYWHERE and thick. She has a little bit of brown hair, not much, as why would it be fair for my girlie's to have hair? So I am very glad that I bought her a ton of hair bows. What we lack in hair style we make up for in accessories :)

Anyway you all know her stats are on the post above this one, just thought I would get this typed up while I was thinking about it and while she is sleeping. :)

So Here I Sit

Leaking all over myself, I tell ya having your membranes ruptured just feels a little unsanitary even though I know it's fine. Having a few contractions but not too many, I am hoping to get up and walk around a bit that should get these contractions to do their thing. Dr. H broke my water at 9:40 and it's 11:20 now so it may be a long day but then again you never know it may just perk up and get going all of the sudden. I kinda feel like a dork blogging while in labor but what are you gonna do when your just sitting here?

Yup I pretty much know I am a blog-a-holic because Lloyd just took a picture of me blogging while sitting in this most uncomfy bed strapped to a fetal monitor and seeing the picture on my camera just verified my bloggy addiction.

So just consider yourselves very well informed and updated. :) More later here comes a contraction.

Okay another update. It's now 1:30 and I am back in my bed after getting to walk around for a while. I had to lay down as my feet have so much swelling they were starting to hurt. But now I am hooked up to Oxytocin to kick start these contractions. I am having some and they are not too bad- yet. So there you have it another update. I think these are more for me, that way I don't have to remember too much when I go back to type up her birth story. Off I go! :)
