I had a dr. appointment on the 2nd and he checked me and I was dilated to 3cm and 40% effaced. He felt fairly confident that I would probably go in the next few days. I was cramping and just feeling uncomfortable the rest of the day. On the 3rd I woke up feeling about the same. Later in the afternoon I thought perhaps I was leaking amniotic fluid so at 4:00ish Ty and I went to the hospital. They checked me and I was not leaking fluid. I was still dilated to 3 but was now 50% effaced. They put me on the monitors for a while and I was contracting but it was anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes apart. So he sent me home and told me to come back if things got worse.
I went into the restroom to change and I saw water running down my leg. I was shocked! I said Ty I think my water really just broke....sure enough just walking back to the bed proved that! So that was at 7:00pm. At about 8:30 they checked me and I was 6cm. The contractions were definitely getting closer and stronger. I was still able to breath through them, but it was taking more concentration. I decided to get my epidural because I tend to dilate quickly. After having to have the epidural twice, the first one went into a blood vessel, I was starting to feel some relief. This was the best epidural I have ever had. It was just enough to take the edge off, but I completely felt everything! At about 9:30 or 9:45ish I was feeling a TON of pressure and had to close my eyes and really concentrate on not pushing. They checked me and I was complete and ready to go! I just had to wait for the doctor. When he finally got in there I was so relieved. I started pushing and 5 pushes later Mckenna made her debut at 10:17pm!!!!
This was my most emotional birth ever. I was so relieved that she was here safely. I am literally the happiest mommy on the whole planet! I was interested to see how "little" she was because she was only 37 weeks. Then I heard them say 7lbs 10oz and 19.5 inches long!!! Wow that is how much Connor weighed at 40 weeks! This little girl would have been a BIG girl had I carried her much longer!
I am so very blessed to have this sweet little girl in my life. She has made me so very happy. Sorry for the picture overload, but I think she is the cutest thing ever! By the way it was so worth it to not know her sex. It was awesome to hear the doc say Its a GIRL!!!!!

What a beautiful Rainbow!!! I honestly can't wait to feel those emotions. I am sure this was the most amazing experience. I think it is so ironic that we both lost little angel baby boys and now we are getting girls. I just can't wait to come down and see her! Hopefully over Christmas break.
She is so cute. I am really missing that feeling of a new baby straight from heaven but don't think I've ready for another one. Enjoy her!!! Congrats and glad everything went so well!
