As many of you know our daughter has entered the world to join mommy and daddy. I finally had a little bit of time since the little darling is taking a snooze. So heres the story.
On Janurary 14th at 3 am i thought that my water broke and i even asked my friend Vanessa if it might have broken. And her advice was to stand in the shower and do a few squats and see if any liquid came out. Well i did that and nothing came out, and also this might be a little TMI but when i wiped i had soe mucusy thing with blood in it (a little scary) but i just decided to wait it out and see if anything progressed. And well around 6am or so i started to feel contractions. Well my doctors office wasnt open yet so i waited. I called them and told them about what had been going on and they said to go straight to Kapiolani Medical Center for Women and Children. By that time the contractions had started to get closer and little bit stronger. So got my things together (since i wasnt expecting her to come early), i had to pack my bag, goo thing i was smart and already had the baby bag packed. Around 9 am i finally head my way to the doctors. I get there at about 10 am and the contractions were VERY close.
I finally get taken in after about an hour or so i get taken back in triage. By then i had my BEST bud there (Anna Banana). I get taken back, they hook me up and then they have to check to see if my water broke. And SURE ENOUGH my water broke. So we head my little butt to my room to get things started. I was really happy that during everything i was able to talk to my hubby. And that made things a million times better. So contractions started coming STRONG to the point that i was about to cry, so they checked to see how much i was dilated and at i think around 1 pm or 2pm (the times are all fuzzy in my mind) i was 6 cm dialted. And by then i had been contemplating getting an epidural and by then i had decided that i wanted it...LIKE RIGHT NOW! (LOL) So i went ahead and got that done. It hurt but gosh darn it the pain was gone in a matter of minutes and i was able to make it through every contraction after that like it was nothing.
Few more hours went by and i was feeling alot of pressure, not to the point of totally pushing but it was getting intense. And so they checked me again (around 5pm or so) and GOSH DARN IT i was fully dialted with my cervix partly around the top of her head. At that point they said it could be a matter of minutes to a matter of hours. And before you know it start feeling ALOT of pressure (like i had to poop...lol) And that when it all started. The pushing, the breathing properly and for me the SCREAMING...lol. But before i knew it she was here. Her sweet little body was placed onto mine and everything just disappeared. I TOTALLY forgot about the pain. It was like it never even happened. Best of all my hubby was there in his own way, my best bud was texting him on yahoo when she was born. He was SO excited!

So they take our sweet little girl to get weighed, and she was a WOPPING 7 lbs 15.5 oz (a week before the doctor said she felt about 6 lbs). When i heard that i was EXTREMELY surprised. And what was funny, was she was the BIGGEST baby and the ONLY girl in the nursery that day. I thought that was cute. Few hours go by and i FINALLY get to have our baby girl in the room with me. It was rough the first night; especially since breast feeding was taking a really SLOW start. But now at almost 11 days old we are experts at it now. Shes a very calm and peacful baby girl. She doesnt cry much but when she does she either has a nice BIG 'OL burp or she has a dirty diaper. She DOES NOT like dirty diapers. But other then that she is just PERFECT! I dont think that me or Sal could ask for a better baby girl. Even though he thinks that she doesnt look like him she is ALL his. And she has already stolen his heart; minus the fact that he thinks shes a little on the chuncky side (which is NOT true..lol). Having her i think is making the time fly since he is now going to be home in about 25 days. And i know he enjoys when we are both on webcam, she entertains him and i know his heart melts every single time. We are the worlds HAPPIEST mommy and daddy!! All that needs to happen now is him getting his sexy butt home to hold both of his girls.
