have a minute to update you girls...
Baby is sleeping so I wanted to update you girls with the WONDERFUL news....and thank you Val for letting everyone know she was born....Happy to announce that Breanna Catherine Roberts was born on June 15 @ 9:11 am 7lbs 5oz and 20.5 inches long with a FULL head of black hair
(a little less than an hour old)
so it is just a normal Tuesday night getting ready to go to bed and fnally we all got settled and around 11:45 I had to go to the bathroom I felt a little bubble and something a little weird...so went and ?not much then went back got settled again and next thing I know I am even more wet...so said to B I think my water just broke...so I called my dr and they called me back explained everything and she said sounds to me that is waht happened go ahead into the hospital and they can check you out...so we got to the hospital about 12:30ish...and they checked us in and sent me to triage got me hooked up to the monitors and all that fun stuff and said I was having small contractions but nothing really strong...so the resident that was there came in to check everything out and I was still @ 3cm and about 90% so they finished up checking everything and getting all my info and the resident said let me just double check your water has actually broken cause how far along I was stranger things have happend...so she put the speculum in to check and sure enough the rest of it broke (it was just ruptured when we got there) so they admitted me and sent us to our LDR room about 1:30ish... DR came in and checked me again and I was about 5cm and 100% so it's about 3:45 and I figured my contractions arent too strong so I better get my epidural...got that over with and was feeling pretty good...got checked again about 5ish and I was @ 7cm, I started having really horrible pain in my left hip, thinking it was from laying on my side (since you have to switch sides every hour or so when you get your epidural) so i didnt think much of it....well my mom and B went to get breakfast around 6:30 or so and the pain just started getting worse and worse and within the half hour the one nurse came in to check and I was telling her about it and she asked if I just had one and sure enough it was from my contractions...so by the time my mom and B came back I was in tears ready to rip off the rail of the bed...so they called the DR and she checked me again and I was 10cm ready to go....by this time it was 7:20...so I was ready to push I have to say it wasnt as bad as I thought it may be .... thank god for the epidural or I prob wouldnt have made it....by the end I was so exhausted I told them I cant do it any more hour and a half later Breanna was here!!!
Here is a little better pic of here yesterday morning before we headed home...
I will try and update as much as I can....when she is napping...we are so in love and really couldnt be happier!!!

Kim-I had an epidural for my c-section and was terrified! It really wasn't bad at all-couldn't believe how easy it was!
