Sophie finally graced us with her presents early Monday morning at 12:50 AM. Long story short, I started having contractions early Sunday morning at 4 AM, of course they were not consistent enough to send me to the hospital. So we went to eat lunch at my moms and went to our neice, Karlee's birthday party at Putt-Putt Fun House in the afternoon.
I was having contractions off and on all day, not feeling good, but I did not want to stay at home in bed. Finally around 5:30 the contractions started coming every 10 minutes, and by the time we got home around 6:30, the contractions were 6-7 minutes apart.
If you know me, I had false labor with Ethan and been having false labor with Sophie, so I did not call the doctor and kept on doing stuff around the house just in case it was the real thing. Finally, my family convinced me to go to the hospital.
When I arrived I was in pain and the contractions were getting closer together. I was 100% effaced and dilated to 5cm. This was around 8:00. So of course it was the real thing and they did not send me home. I dilated really fast and by the time I got my epiduarl, I was dilated between 6 and 7. After I got my epidural, it was not to long before I was 9 cm, and then the pushing began. I pushed for 2hrs before Sophie was born.
We thought the pushing part would go by really fast, since it did with Ethan and Sophie is my 3rd baby, but it did not. She was facing to the side instead of face down, so it took longer. But it was probably a good thing so I did not develop another hematoma.
She had the cord wrapped around her neck when she was delievered and was casper white with dark drown hair. Yeah! Dark hair just like her Mommy. She looked just like her big brother Ethan, but not as loud as him.
The boys were really excited to finally meet their Little Sister. They did really good waiting at the hospital for her to be delivered. They both had the biggest smile on their face. Ethan kept asking if we could take her home with us and all Dylan wanted to do was hold her.
Our first family picture with Sophie!
Dylan is the best big brother ever! I can already tell that he is going to spoil his little sister and watch over her like a hawk! Boys you better watch out!
Jeramy is just thrilled to be a daddy of a baby girl! Hope he knows how much his life is about to change! Lots of PINK!
Dr. Davis was awesome through my entire delivery. She stayed after to make sure I was going to be ok and not develop another hematoma. Thanks, Dr. Davis for taking care of me and Sophie!
