Eleanor Louise was born Jan. 10th at 6:47 am. She weighed 7lbs. 2 oz and was 20.5 in long!! I actually went into labor the Friday before around dinner time. So yes I was in labor from friday evening to sunday morning. And it was all back labor which Ive heard is the WORST...I certainly felt like it was:) We didn't actually end up going to the hospital until saturday afternoon...all I could think about by then was give me the EPIDURAL! after that got going I felt a TON better. I was 100% effaced when I arrived at the hospital but dilated only 2 cm. So they actually almost sent me home which I think I would have DIED if they had I was in so much pain. From then on I progressed about a cm per hour...until I got to 9 and then it was like I shut down. After a couple more hours of waiting, I was finally given pitocin. That did the trick and I ended up only pushing for about 30 mins before little Ellie was born:) So thats the story for those who were asking...trying not to give too much info:)...
Scott and I are already so in love with our little girl. I won't lie, it has been a little rough especially since recovery was pretty severe. But with 2 weeks behind me, as my mom would say I am starting to "get my wings" back. Also, it has been a very big adjustment being a mommy. I have had a job for over 6 years and I know how to do that. I had it down pretty good. But this...I feel like I am so inexperienced that sometimes it overwhelms me. I just try not to worry too much about what I'm doing wrong or right and just enjoy her. She is so much fun!:)
2 Weeks already!!
