the rest of the story...and the first day at home

so here's the rest of our adventurous story.....jordan had had quite a long day at work last thursday. needless to say, when i woke him up at 12:30 am with the news that we might be having a baby today, he was not quite with it and didnt seem super excited. in fact, he told me it was probably nothing and that i needed to lay back down and just try to relax and go back to sleep. i couldnt relax and never did go back to sleep. finally at 2:15ish we were on our way to the hospital. when we arrived on the labor and delivery floor, i was informed that they had no open rooms and so they led me to the "antepartum room" which is essentially a storage closet, no joke. take a look. no bed (just a stretcher) and no tv. definately nothing "suite" about it.



because i thought i was going to die, i was begging for my epidural. however, i was denied because i had walked in at an 8 1/2 and we didnt have time for any drugs at all! i sent jordan back to the car in a hurry to get the cameras, which was almost a huge disaster. they wouldnt let him back in through the ER and he had to wait like 10-15 minutes for security to let him in. in the meantime, the doctor came in and broke my water and said i was free to push. i told him he was crazy if he thought i was going to be pushing without jordan in the room. those 10-15 minutes were the longest of my entire life. when he finally got back to me, it only took 2 contractions and she was born! start to finish we were only in there 40 minutes. short and sweet....it was fantastic. although i wouldnt recommend the delivering on a stretcher bit to anyone!

we were super excited to finally get hadderbugs home. we came home to a super cutely decorated door and once we got inside jordan enjoyed showing her all of her new things! welcome home cuppie cake!
