My Due Date was Thursday February 2nd, it was also MY mama's birthday! My contractions started Wednesday (the 1st) afternoon but I realized I was in labor when the contractions kept getting closer together. They weren't sore [yet], just uncomfortable. I waited until the contractions were 3 minutes apart before going in to the Hospital for good. So I kept busy and we played card games and watched TV for hours until they were 3 minutes apart.
We got to the hospital and got all checked in by Midnight; by then I was 5cm dilated. I knew it was just the waiting game from then so we relaxed, watched TV, and I bounced around on the exercise ball trying to help baby girl along. haha. The contractions didn't actually get painful until I reached 7-8cm.
Soon after I felt the urge to push and within 10 minutes she was out! :) My doctor wasn't even in the room when I started pushing, he came just in time to catch her pretty much! It was truly an AMAZING experience and to top it off I accomplished my goal of going without pain meds. My mom had ALL 6 of us kids NATURALLY so I wanted to try and be as strong of a woman as she is!
Our second beautiful daughter Vizion was born at 4:46am on Thursday February 2nd 2012. She weighed 8lbs 6oz and was 19.5in long. We are so grateful and blessed for another healthy blessing in our lives!
