Skyla is born!

Skyla Marie was born May 8, 2009 weighing 6 pounds and 15 oz. 20 and a half inches long at 3:09pm.

My delivery story:

Things did not go as planned. My contractions started at 3:36am on Thursday morning 5/7/09. Called Momma Haize (my Doula) after an hour when we realized that they were not stopping. I tried to lay back down and relax but that was not happening. Woke up my mom around 8. She got up fixed gritts and eggs for me. lol Put on some music so I can dance out the pain. Did the stanky leg which both my boyfriend and friends got a big kick out of. Went to the pool. And yes the contractions are still coming 5 mins apart. We stayed at the house til about 6:30 that evening and then I could not take it anymore and we went to the hospital. Only to find out I was only 1cm dilated. What! ahhhhhhh so we decide to stay at the hospital after a hard desision. After some drugs from a hot doctor. I go to sleep and get a little bit of rest. My doctor comes in to see me in the morning. I have now dilated 4cm,

After laying there, and eating ice chips, talking and praying that the baby drops and I would dilate. I get all the way up to 8 and a half cm and stayed there for 3 hours. My doctor comes in to check me and I am now at 7cm. I swelled to the point where now I was going backward. He looked at me and said "you know what we have to do." I cried and cried and was so scared. They prep me for a c-section. Minutes later I was looking at my princess. I am still in a lot of pain. On 8 weeks of light bedrest. But when I look at this little girl I forget for a second the pain I am feeling and I just smile.
