Ok, the story:
My water broke on Sunday oct 28th after the giants won the World Series... My sister thinks Ella was just too excited about them wining she busted through lol... I checked into the hospital about 10:05 and thanks to pre-registration I was takin back within minutes. After I got to my room and got my lovely hospital attire on, I called Steven as calmly as possible to tell him to get his bum on a plane ASAP!
After talking to his gm only moments before my call, he could now not get a hold of anyone. He called for 2hrs before calling a friend to help him book his flight! Thank you TGCW!!!
I made it through the night with only minor contractions and after 18 hours they were telling me I needed to let my body have those contractions or they would have to give me pitocin. I kept telling them they had to wait till Steven landed! By 5pm Monday night, I was finally talked into getting hooked up so I could get my contractions going. In my head I knew Steven would be there soon and I could let my body start doing its thing. Before 1/2 of the first dose kicked in, I was having heavy contractions that were getting closer together. They checked to see where I was at and I was still only 3cm (after being 3cm for 3 weeks already). This is when I was talked into trying a different position. Since walking in the hall was not what I wanted to do I jumped in the shower and stayed there for the next 30 min. This time I knew I was making progress. After getting out and making my way back to bed I heard Stevens voice. From this point on I was relaxed and ready to go. I went from 3-8 cm in 30 min and the baby was out an hour later! Thank you Lord that Steven made it!!
I think we were all so excited that Steven was there that we forgot to check out if our peanut was a boy or girl... With a few moments everyone yelled, "wait! Is it a boy? Or girl?!?!" And there was miss Ella Grace :) we fell completely in love in a matter of seconds!
