I went into early labor Monday night (March 16th)and had contractions consistently for the next 10 hours.
They still weren't quite close enough to go the hospital
at that point, so we took a walk outside.
The walk brought them about a minute closer together
and when I called the doctor's office
they told me to go ahead and get over to labor and delivery.
When they first checked us at the hospital,we had progressed to a 3 from the 1/2cm a week before.
However,
7 hours later, I was still only at a 3.
At that point I knew we had a long night ahead of us.
It wasn't until about 2am on the 18th that my body wasfinally ready to push.
I was so exhausted that it took another 2 and 1/2
hours of pushing to get Dorothy here.
She was born at 5:07 am on March 18th.
She is a very alert little girl,taking in as much as she can with her beautiful eyes
when she is awake.
We are so in love with her
and feel so blessed to be her parents.
