i had my dr's appt and i was only at a 1. being 39 weeks pregnant...i was quite disappointed/exhausted/and so over being pregnant. With this all being said my dr told me that if i didnt have her by monday i would go in to be checked again and then go over to labor and delivery to be induced. Dr prescribed me to ambien so i could get some major rest and informed me to only work half days. i was overjoyed with happiness that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I called jeremy and my parents and told everyone that she would be here no later than tuesday! YAY!!
so i immediately go get my ambien filled and let me tell you...that stuff is a mircale drug because i have NEVER slept soo good in my life! :)
The weekend comes and i am getting my house ready for visitors for the next week. Here i am cleaning my house and taking Jeremy trash and as i am in the garage....my water breaks...at 1:09....i had a moment of freakin out....and instructed J to go get me a towel...this stuff just keep coming and coming...so i decided sitting on the commode while J got everything together was the best idea. he called my parents and i called my sister! J got the car packed and off to the hospital we go.
I only had a couple of contractions on the way to hospital. they werent that bad then. The hospital was 45 minutes away. we made it to the hospital. with a towel in between my legs the nurses obiviously knew why i was there. so i get all checked it and settled into my room and all hooked up to the 100 things they observe. by this time i was having contractions. they checked to see how far i had progressed and i was at a 1 and 90% efaced.
a couple of hours passed by and the contractions got stronger and stronger so the dr came in and checked me and i was at a 3 so he told me i could go ahead with my epidural. by 5:45 i had my epidural and i was feeling much better! those things are heaven let me tell you because contractions are no joke.
a few more hours passed and i was at an 8.5/9cm and 100%. almost go time!
at nine i was at a 10 and it was go time! they got me all prepped up and ready to push. a 9:41 Alyssa arrived. and score 9/10. She was healthy as can be and weighed 5lbs 14oz. my little bitty girl finally arrived after 39 weeks of being pregnant. it was surreal. and ever since its been a joy.
