Paisley fell asleep at 10:45 after nursing and slept soundly until 6:30!!! I went in and nursed her then and she put herself back to sleep quickly and slept until 9:45. I am amazed at how well she's doing with this considering that she slept in our bed and hated her cradle. Now I wish I wouldn't have worried so much that I had screwed up. Paisley was ready to go in her crib now and she's sleeping well in it. And I wouldn't trade those precious 3 months with her snuggled up to me!
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 night must've felt like a million dollars! What a good girl.
