Here is her story:
Saturday the 24th I went to Ames to get groceries...when I got home I started having contractions about 3 min. apart- nothing new for me! So I kind of ignored them. After 2 hours I went out and walked to see if they would go away... they didn't. So we decided it was time to go to the hospital. We dropped Reagan off at my parents (she was still in her pj's from the night before :) ) I really wasn't sure I would be staying at the hospital as I had been there a lot in the past 6 weeks. So I changed Reagan so my parents could take her out to eat and off we were...
When we got to the hospital they checked me and said I was dilated to 5 and 90% effaced which meant I wasn't going home!!! The doctor told me I would probably deliver quickly so they gave me the option to walk the halls or break my water: I chose the break my water! I decided to get the epidural (even though I thought I could go without) but with my luck I was worried since they said it would go fast that it would really end up taking days!! The nurse asked questions, hooked me up, and we just waited for the epidural! They gave me the epidural and then broke my water. Except for the numbness in my legs, I felt great! After about 1 and half hours I was getting ready to push, the doctor told me to wait because he was not ready!! I got the "ok" to start pushing at midnight. With the first push her head was almost out!! (They asked me if I wanted to see it- I said NO!!) At this point we knew this baby had hair, but didn't know if it was a boy or girl. The next push I told Jon this was going to be a big baby!! Two more pushes and she was out!! I did not hear them say it was a girl so I was pulling the legs apart when they laid her on my chest!!
I was so excited and couldn't wait to introduce her to Reagan!! We spent the next few hours just holding her and admiring how perfect she was!
