*****************IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!************************
Last night around 10:45 P.M. my water broke! I was laying in bed, but just not quite asleep yet when I felt it. At first thought, I thought I had just peed on myself...yuk! But then when I got up, it did it again..and I thought...mmmm...I think my water just broke!! Jim was in the den watching the Johnny Carson show and I called him in there to tell him. He was pretty calm and ask what we were supposed to do!!!???? I told him my bag was ready to go to the hospital and that we were about to have a baby!!! I sorta freaked because the ONLY way to get this baby out is to go thru labor...suddenly I sorta wanted to change my mind about havin' this baby!!!! Oh, no...too late!!!
We left for the hospital but made one stop along the way. Jim wanted to get a magazine to read, so we stopped at a convience store and he ran in. We got to the hospital and went right up to the 2nd floor of Baptist Hospital and were admitted in labor and delivery.
Labor was only rough around 6 this morning. I asked for something and they gave me demerol. It made me really dizzy. I didn't like it...so I didn't ask for any more. Soon they were able to have my epidural, so things were much better then.
I rocked along in labor until the nurse checked me and it was time to go to delivery!!!
When she was almost born...before "her parts" came out...I asked Dr. Simmons what it was...he peered over the sheets and told me that "they don't come with bows!!" what a dumb question! She, my Emily Shay, was born at 10:04. She is BEAUTIFUL! She weighed 6lbs 12oz and was 21" long. They wrapped her up and let me hold her. The dr. sent word to Jim ( who couldn't, because he didn't think he could deal with it, be in the delivery room). Soon they wheeled us out to see him and took Emily to the nursery and me to recovery.
I stayed in recovery for about an hour then got back to my room to make the phone calls!!!
They brought her to me and she already had a pacifier in her mouth! I am soooo happy. She is perfect. I love to kiss her face and smell her mouth.
I am really tired from being up all day...will take a nap now..all for now.. I already adore my little Emily Shay.
