Baby Sophia was born yesterday, March 12th at 7:28 am!!!
7 lbs 14 oz and a full head of dark dark hair!
I started having contractions about 8 pm when I was driving us to dinner with my SIL. At dinner I noticed a few contractions about 10-16 minutes apart. We were home by 9:45 and my contractions started coming every 4-8 minutes. But 10:00 they were 3-4 minutes but mainly 3. We decided to go to the hospital even though the doctor on call told me to wait home for a bit. They were just too strong and too frequent.
By 11:30 I was checked into the hospital at 4 cm. By 12:30 I was 5 cm, 3:45 they broke my water at 6 cm.
After 2 hours of pushing and being told not to push by one nurse (who was not my favorite....) shift changes were done and I got a new nurse who coached my delivery and delivered our beautiful baby in 25 minutes!! I was not a champ in this department at all. I pretty much screamed bloody murder bc my epidural did not numb anything in that area.
Anyway here she is!!!

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
