Right after she was born.
Look at all her hair!! I look at her and think, this isn't my child.
So I hadn't had any braxton-hicks contractions of any kind until about three days before I had her. At first I thought I just wasn't feeling well and I went to the doctor and he was the one to say, "oh look you are having a contraction right now" for me to know what the heck was going on. I've never had contractions before, how should I know? Anyway they got progressively more frequent over the next few days. Well by Friday night around 2 am the contractions were to the point where I was moaning a little bit to get through them. So I felt bad about keeping Ryan up, so I went out to the living room to "deal with it". They were fairly regular but I didn't want to get all worked up for nothing. Well around 4 am I noted a slow, steady leak that I wanted to ignore, but had the feeling it was amionic fluid. It totally was, but did I wake Ryan? No, he's got a fun day planned with his family in town, and I didn't want to ruin anything. Plus did I mention I was supposed to have a baby shower that morning at 10 am? So I sat in the bathroom suffering with contractions that were, in reality, about 5 minutes apart but I REALLY didn't want to bother him and I really wanted to go to my shower! I knew his alarm was going to off at around 6 am and I could totally wait. Well by the time Ryan woke up they were about 3 minutes apart and WAY OUCHY! So he's packing the bags like crazy, calling the doctor, running around to get ready and I'm telling him I'm fine, and he should eat some breakfast. Anyway, we got to the hospital around 6:40 and I'm wanting my epidural right away now, but the anesthesiologist didn't get around to it until 9 am. I progressed quickly as I was dialated to a 2 at 7 am and by 10 am I was dialated to an 8. Well she was born after only 45 minutes of pushing at about 1 pm. Not bad eh? Yay for Sadie!
