Here she is!! And here is the scoop:
6:00 am- My water broke and i didnt believe it
6:30 am- I was forced to believe it = )
I woke up my Man who didnt believe it either and we went through the list of what to bring to the hospital just to make sure i didnt forget anything.
8:00 am- We checked into Labor and Delivery and by 9:00 they put me on Pitocin so that i would start feeling my contractions
10:00 I was definately feeling contractions, but we thought that maybe my body could handle creating all of the necessary ingredients to send me through my labor, so we went off Pitocin
2:00 pm- Went back on Pitocin
4:30 pm- I was fully dilated and ready
The Nurse finally returns from another delivery that was supposed to be short and by
6:00 pm- I started pushing
8:00 pm- She was stuck!
The Doctor arrived and told me that she was posterior (face up) and that i had previously broken my tailbone and that it was in the way.
8:58 pm- Grace arrived!!
We named her after Josh's grandma Grace Collette and after my grandma Arlene VanWagenen, both beautiful and amazing women. We want her to be just like them.
Thanks to all for the prayers and support!
And a special thanks to our Mom's and sisters! They have been so generous!!
