Wow, should start posting more often!!

so obivously by now I have had the baby.

Jalyn was born via emergancy c section on 10-10-09.

After contractions started on 10-08 I waited for them to get stronger and closer, I went to sleep for a for a bit and woke up at 8am and had a weird pain, not thinking much of it, James went to work. Within 5 minutes my contractions hit hard and fast. I was calling him within 15 minutes of him leaving, but he forgot to turn up his volume on his phone. I had my step dad take me to the hospital, and found out the weird pain I had was my water breaking and her head was blocking the hole so I didn't get a gush of fluid. I was 5cm when I got there and progressed pretty quickly.

The epidural was not inserted properly, only worked on one side so it had to get fixed. Then it kept wearing off too quick. I stopped progressing after a while, so they had to give me potassin (sp?). After a while my temperature was going up, and both of our heart rates started going crazy. I was told if I wasnt pushing within a hour they would take her via c section. After just 30 minutes they decided they needed to taker her.

While I was waiting for the surgeon my epidural wore off, so I was feeling everything for a while. I got back to the OR, and they gave me a spinal. Jalyn was stuck pretty bad, and there was some extra manuvering that had to be done to get her out. She was born screaming at 1:27am on October 10th. While they were stitching me up James got to hold and bring her to me so I could see her. While they were closing me up the spinal started to wear off so I was starting to feel things.

Jalyn has been a great baby. She almost never cries, she is just content with life pretty much no matter what she is doing.

We are so blessed to have her here, and are loving every minute of it.
