{Labor and Delivery}

I'm finally in a better state of mind now.  So, last Monday I had my Little Fairy after a week of early labor and contractions, getting sent home from my Dr.'s office {he was out of town} by my Dr.'s office midwife with contractions two minutes apart starting to dilate, effaced, and baby in position, managed to stay pregnant until he got back in town monday morning.

I called the Dr. Monday morning at 9a., got told to go to the hospital but I had this weird fear of getting sent home again so I waited a half an hour until my in laws talked me into going in {hubs had to finish a few projects at work so he had to go in}, my Father-in-law took me up while my mother-in-law watched Princess.

They hooked me up to the monitors but without Hubs there I was a little terrified nervous so my contractions went from normal to all over the place.  After a couple hours they offered me a shot of Morphine {after that long of pain who was I to turn that down?} and it relaxed me enough finally that I was on a roll.  I went from a 2 to a 3 in under then minutes and my Dr. {who was NOT on call that night} refused to let anyone else deliver me told me in order for it to be him I had to go fast.

They put me on Pitocin to speed me up, water broke at 4:00p {Hubs was still at work frantic trying to get out} at 4 cm, Hubs got off and raced a long 40 minute drive and had to stop for gas or else the car would break down on him,  got my epidural just as he got to my room {it was an either now or wait for two hours after 3 c-sections were done choice}, went from a 4 to an 7 from 6 to 9 something then from 7 to 10 in under 10 minutes and it was a race between the Dr. changing and the baby.  I was telling the nurse over and over he better hurry she's coming.  He managed to get there in time thankfully it only took 4 pushes to get her out and on the second one he had me slow down. We spent most of the delivory teasing the Dr. and nursery nurse than pushing.

My beautiful Little Fairy was born at 9:33pm, 6 lbs. 10 oz, 18.5 inches long.

She's such a good baby she spends so much time sleeping and doesn't cry much and when she does she isn't loud at all with generally only one cry.

37 weeks and at the Dr.'s office

{My Fun Filled Weekend}

{Dr appointment today ultrasound yesterday}

{Haven't felt like much of anything}

I've actually been in the latent stage of labor since Tuesday of last week. { Some also call it prelabor} and I haven't felt like doing much at all except get everything clean and ready, except for yesterday and today so far. I managed to get my belly shot on friday but I wasn't even feelingnow outing it up.  I've even been neglecting my personal facebook page {which to those who know me they're getting worried about me and I'm sorry.}

36 weeks and 4 days today I'm not sure but I'm feeling like Fairy is going to be here very soon. My contractions aren't getting close yet and no 'show' yet.  I sept for about 4 hours if that last night and woke up feeling antsy, restless, achy, nauseas, anxious, moody {I was crying alot yesterday too.} Back hurts, and I want to neat but my mind is exhausted but my body can't stop moving or get comfortable. I have no idea how long this will happen its so different from Princess' I contracted for 7 weeks and was induced after my due date with her.

I have no idea what to expect. I hope I feel like myself soon I really miss me lol. The not feeling like me got a ton worse this morning.

{Last Day of BEDA!?}

I can't believe that it's the last day of BEDA! This month just went by way too fast. I'm also 35 weeks pregnant! I'm sorry that I don't have an awesome post planned for today I actually completely forgot about it lol. I've also been trying to get the apartment ready for 20+ women to be here tomorrow for the baby shower.

I'm thinking we're going to be having Fairy soon.  I've started to show the signs for the final stretch! I think it'll happen in a week or two {hopefully} with how much as happened.  Two days ago my pelvis separated.  I've been a little sick to my stomach, I started loosing my plug, my braxton hicks have picked up a LOT and have started to hurt {I know that they're BHs because they go away if I sit or lay down.}  My body has started to flush itself out too, and I've been cramping for the past few days, I also had one contraction last night while I was playing with Princess and Hubs.  My dr isn't worried if I have her now that I'm 35 weeks he says aim for 37 but it's fine if I go at anytime.

35 days until the due date {if I make it that far lol.}

I've actually been sleeping horribly but I'm so so tired. I can't get comfortable at all and I have to prop my legs up with pillows because my legs start swelling.  I've also been getting up alot at night to go to the bathroom.

She's still a girl I hope but if she isn't I thankfully have some boy clothes LOL.

Clothes are so uncomfortable to wear but I still have a few that I will wear for long periods of time thankfully otherwise I don't know what I would do.

My wedding rings are around my neck with my cross. I really wish I can wear my rings I don't like not having them on.

I've been so emotional too.  I feel so bad for Hubs and Princess having to put up with it lol.

She's slowed down a little bit but she's also running out of room too so I'm not too worried because she will move around if I make her.

I've mostly been craving sweets.  It's been awful but I'm finally caught up on my weight!! I'm now at 142 pounds!

As most who know me {or read the blog} I've had my hospital bag packed for quite some time {since I was about 25 weeks.}  With my first pregnancy I went into labor at 33 weeks so I was scared I would go early again this time around so I wanted to be prepared.  So today I decided to do a "What's in my Hospital Bags" post.  Just to let you know also every hospital is different. As well as many countries. So without further ado here we go!

I stuck it all into Fairy's crib for safe keeping.
