My new baby is finally here, I started labor Friday the 12th in the morning, me and Shelby went to a fun Birthday party and despite the contractions I felt, Shelby had fun.
When we returned home I had more contractions and they started getting closer together, so I called Brian but he didn't answer. So I called Becky and I just wanted to cry. I was so scared. Becky called Brian and he came home. He took me to get a pedicure, and the ladies at the pedicure place wanted me to go to the hospital so I didn't have the baby at their store; it was really funny.
Finally we went to the hospital and I was 4 cm dialated, but they sent me home with a sleeping pill in my system. The next thing I knew a was in my bed at my house with really strong contractions about 2 hours later.
We went back to the hospital and after a little battle betwen Brian and the Nurse at Triage she let me go in.
At that point I was at 7 cm and I felt so much pain. They took me to the labor room and I asked for some pain relief but it was to late as the baby was already here. They put me in the bed and the nurse told me to start pushing if I needed to. So I started pushing and after the 3rd push Navie came out. My doctor wasn't even there and I was so mad! In fact the oncall doctor wasn't even there so the nurse and my mother in law recieved the baby.

Congratulations!!! Labor can be rough:) But it sounds like you did a wonderful job. Good idea to get a pedicure first:) I usually do the laundry while I'm in labor:) Not having your dr. there is hard too. I did that with my last one. Hopefully you had good nurses who could help you stay calm...that makes a big difference. Rachel
She is beautiful! I can't wait to meet her. :)
What a beautiful baby and a beautiful family! We love you!
She is just perfect and I can't wait to see her grow. xoxo

Melina,
you are an angel. You really are one of the most selfless people I've ever met! You are constantly doing nice things for the people around you. THANK YOU for the darling Christmas ornaments and tree from Hobby Lobby. You are TOO sweet. Congratulations on your beautiful baby Navie!!
Love, Candice
I'm glad that you don't have a picture of me doing battle with the nurses and the doctor - " Can I HELP you with something?!!!!!"
I still think it's ironic that the nurse was insisting you have a thingy put in your hand while you were in transition.
Next time..... only one Ambien.... ;)
Congratulations. Oh my goodness, I always thought you make the most beautiful children, but they come that way. She's so perfect. I need to come see her and bring her a little present. She is seriously adorable.
