Lydia Jane

So she’s three weeks old and I’m just now blogging about our sweet Lydia…you forget what sleep deprivation does to you…This precious little one arrived two days after her due date on October 18th.  After almost 2 full weeks of off and on contractions I knew it had to be soon.  At about 10:30 that morning I started have contractions that actually made me stop…so I had Jason take me to the hospital.  Thankfully my mom was already here to watch the older two.  Around 11 we were finally checked into a room, but we were just there while they monitored  my contractions and if they weren’t consistent enough or I wasn’t progressing they were going to send me home.  About 11:30 my water broke, so by then we knew we were really going to have a baby that day.  We made one lap of the hospital before we had to be put back on the monitor, by then I was definitely feeling  intense and consistent contractions.  Unfortunately my Dr. was not there and was being covered by a colleague, she came in to introduce herself and commented how comfortable I looked and assured me my Dr. would be there soon and would be able to deliver me.  Well about 30 minutes later, I was ready to push…and we welcomed Lydia Jane at 1:41pm.  all 8lbs and 12oz of her…she was the biggest one yet.
