I decided that I wanted to try the Moby wrap out to see how it would go since Paisley loves to be held and it turns out that it's really tough to do everything one-handed. So, here she is in it.
The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up ...
That looks awesome! We have a Baby Bjorn, but it's so complicated to get on and off and she doesn't seem snuggly in it at all. I was thinking of getting something like that...You're right - doing things one-handed is tough!!!
ReplyDeletehahaha so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI got a Moby and have used it for the twins when they get fussy. I am still not sure I am doing it right though. Your wrap looks perfect like the pictures that come with it, but mine is all sketchy haha.
:)
ReplyDeletegreat that you two have such a sense of fun/humor as new parents.
Your husband may be onto something w/that contraption :)
I'm hoping for a wrap like that one. Your's not Aaron's, that is.
ReplyDeleteHahaha, he's awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat is HILARIOUS!!! I am so jealous that you can use your wrap! I have one too, but need to wait for my incision to heal a bit more before I can try it out!
ReplyDeleteI am just catching up on your blog. Congrats again on the birth of your little girl. She is so beautiful!!!
