I have just a couple minutes for a quick update, in between contractions! We're here, we checked in last night around 7pm and the fun has already begun. By, "fun" I mean all the perks of labor :) I'm hanging in there right now, breathing through contractions and waiting for a good time to get an epidural. Don't want it too early to slow anything down, but I definitely want it the second it seems ideal!! I have so much pressure on my lower back from this little girl :)
Last night was not a great night. The drug I was on worked well, but the sleeping pill they gave me made me very nauseous and dizzy. I didn't sleep very much at all and I spent this morning vomiting from 5-8 am, but that is better now with a little zophran. They broke my water and have started pitocin and I already hate contractions. But I can't wait to have Ava here soon! Enjoy some pictures from yesterday, thank you for your prayers!
Here I am with my night nurse, Jessica, whom I love already! She told me my stomach was tiny and I was all baby...I loved her immediately! She's taking great care of me and of Ava.
And here is the Daddy-to-be, trying to figure out his place in our room and trying to digest all that is about to happen.
one last meal........
